While the country observed the first immunisation drive, on January 16, of the homegrown COVID-19 vaccines one of which lacks efficacy data, a few frontline workers refused to take the vaccine.
The Centre has said that the workers will not get to choose between the two vaccines and will be administered with whichever is available on the spot.
The worker is heard saying, “We have been working all this while during the COVID-19 pandemic and we will work in the future but if we take this vaccine and get adverse reactions, who will be responsible for that?”
The centre had approved two vaccines, Covishield from the Serum Institute of India and Covaxin manufactured by the Bharat Biotech. However, the efficacy of Covaxin is unknown and is still under phase three trials.

The Chinese economy grew more than expected in 2020, even as the rest of the world is still suffering due to pandemic. The world’s second largest economy expanded 2.3 per cent in 2020 compared to 2019, according to the government statistics released on January 18. Image
However, it is China’s slowest annual growth rate since 1976 when the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) shrunk 1.6 per cent during the time of the social and economic tumult.
At this time when the pandemic plunged major world economies into recession, China has come out on the top. The International Monetary Fund predicted that china’s economy will grow 1.9 per cent in 2020 while the country clearly exceeded the expectations.
