5 questions you want to know the answer to

1. When will I get the vaccine?

There are currently two categories over 50 years. Preference will be given to those who are 60 years of age or older. Then people between the ages of 50 and 60 will get the vaccine. People born before January 1, 1971 will be included in this group. The government will decide when other people will get the vaccine based on the availability of the vaccine.

2. What do we have to do to get vaccinated?

You have to register on the Covin app. The government has not yet launched this app. Prime Minister Modi on Saturday reviewed the Covin vaccine delivery management system. Government photo ID must be shown at the time of registration and vaccination. However, the data of 10 million health workers and 20 million front line workers is with the Center and the state government. It also has cleaners. The government has already submitted data of 79 lakh such people in the Covin app. So these 3 crore people do not need to register.

3. I have a serious illness, how will the government determine it?

People under the age of 50 who have a serious illness will get priority. Such patients will have to give the extent of the disease and on the same basis they will be registered on Covin.

4. From which company will we be vaccinated?

According to sources, the covshield vaccine of Serum Institute will be sent to the state government in the first round as the vaccine covacin of Bharat Biotech has not yet been tested from the Central Drugs Laboratory at Kasauli in Himachal Pradesh. 2.5 million doses of Kovexin are sent for investigation. It takes at least 14 days. Even if the vaccine is checked and permitted for use without wasting any time, it may take from 11 to 12 January. Reaching the center can then be delayed by one to two days.

5. Can the vaccine be purchased from the market?

The government has not yet commented on the matter. The government may take a decision on this in the future. Currently, about 30 million doses of Serum Covishield vaccine are ready to be sent to the states after completing all the procedures. The vaccine bottle is wrapped with a note for sale and an immunization program wrapper so that the vaccine cannot be found in the market and its black market is also prevented. More than two crore doses of serum have been made in the factory. This batch will soon be sent to CDL for investigation. Will be sent to states once approval is received.
