NEW DELHI – India’s Covid-19 vaccines have been in early trouble as fewer people than expected have been showing up for their photos, putting the country far behind in speed which she needs to meet her target of 300 million by August.
Turnout appears to be lower than expected due to both technical issues with the app that alert people when they have the opportunity to gain insight and fear about the safety of developed vaccines. and agree an accelerated timetable.
The county had first spotted about 1.5 million people as of Saturday, a week after they launched the effort. That’s an average of around 200,000 per day. It had to manage 1.3 million per day to reach the August target.
India has more vaccine-driving experience and government manufacturing capacity than most countries, and had warned that the campaign would start slowly. But in the first week, more than 40% fewer photos appeared than expected.
Government officials say they are still working out the bottles, but the low number of health care workers – the first to receive the vaccine – suggests a timeline far beyond was expected to protect the population through vaccines.
