Yes. Modi putting his foot down to ensure that there exists a good desi vaccine in time is one of the biggest strategic coups of this black-swan event (COVID-19 pandemic).
Our army (and civilians) will have our vaccines. Remember Galvan etc is/was happening against this backdrop

There is nothing more debilitating than an army dependent on a strategic resource in crunch time
Flu played a major role in taking off the edge of Germany’s spring offensive of 1918 (Op Michael, Georgette et al)
If soldiers fall ill on brink the of/during a major op, bad omens

One who reaches the battlefield fastest with the mostest usually has the initiative and other side keeps playing catch (not always a bad idea, sometimes it is good to play with black pieces)
IA is a world class Hindu army that exists after centuries (an Attempt of 1700s aborted)

I hope all our security apparatus (all personnel of all wings of defence forces, police, paramilitary etc and their immediate families gets vaccinated with Covaxin)
It not that Covaxin is more efficient. No. It is as good as Covishield. But strategic assets should be protected using a strategic asset. There must be no dependency on outsiders while securing strategic assets.
Fact that Covishield is manufactured in India makes it easy too.

This is more applicable to Pfizer moderna Sputnik types.
This argument is not applicable to Covishield actually.
That is one more shout out. I was impressed how Adar Poonawala took a huge bet on AZ-Oxford vaccine as early as July last year (again backdrop of Galwan).

He actually mass produced this vaccine much before the trial results were out. That lot manufactured by SII , we used for our vaccine Maitri (earned goodwill, cleared stock which otherwise would have expired and we were still building capacity to initiate vaccination).
Kudos to Adar for showing the right acumen and balls. 🙏👍🏽👍🏽
The enormous manufacturing capacity of the SII became strategic asset of the nation.
