All India had to do in Feb/Mar 2021 was complete both doses for >45 y in campaign mode (at least in elderly, at least in high burden districts)
That required planning in advance, procuring 40 crore doses and distributing to the states

The states distribute it to districts and PHCs based on the estimated requirement in microplans.
Vaccination should have been done using our pubic health vacc system that is decentralised upto the Anganwadi through bottom up micro-planning

We missed this window of opportunity and here were are.
We are spreading out thin without adequate coverage in vulnerable. This will not dent cases and hospitalisation. the limited coverage also appears inequitable

We as Indian public, media as well as the Govt lose the plot when we start talking about absolute numbers and vaccinating entire population, at least for now

For immediate reduction in hospitalisation and deaths (within 4-6 wks), we should ensure a rapid and wide coverage of COVID-19 vaccines in >45y population.
So
Ask data for coverage among these vulnerable pop.
Ask, is the current CoWin dependent strategy appropriate?

>45 are roughly one-fifth of the population. We should cover these using our public health vacc system thru decentralised approach (no need for CoWin). If vacc supply is the issue use sectoral approach. By spreading out thin we are not denting admissions and deaths.
