India is home to the world's largest vaccine makers and has one of the biggest immunization programs. But there is no playbook for the enormity of the current challenge.
"We are launching the world's biggest vaccination drive and it shows the world our capability," Modi said. He implored citizens to keep their guard up and not to believe any "rumours about the safety of the vaccines." Shots were given to at least 165,714 people on Saturday, Dr. Manohar Agnani, a Health Ministry official, said at an evening briefing. The ministry had said that it was aiming to inoculate 100 people in each of the 3,006 vaccination centres across the country.
"In a hurry to be populist, the government taking decisions that might not be in the best interest of the common man," said Dr. S.P. Kalantri, the director of a rural hospital in Maharashtra, India's worst-hit state. Kalantri said the regulatory approval was hasty and not backed by science. Against the backdrop of the rising global COVID-19 death toll -- it topped 2 million on Friday -- the clock is ticking to vaccinate as many people as possible. But the campaign has been uneven.
