New Delhi: The Union health ministry was in the thick of action throughout 2020 in India s fight against coronavirus, ramping up testing facilities as well as health infrastructure while simultaneously issuing COVID-19 treatment and management guidelines from time and time.
At the same time, it put on track the development of a vaccine which is likely to be available early next year.
NEW DELHI: The Union Health Ministry said on Tuesday that India is doing relatively well in its fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, besides speaking about the way forward vaccines.
Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said that 29,000 cold-chain points, 240 walk-in coolers, 70 walk-in freezers, 45,000 ice-lined refrigerators, 41,000 deep freezers and 300 solar refrigerators will be used for this purpose. He added that all these equipment have already reached different states.
However, he cautioned about the adverse effects as well, saying that such adverse effects are primarily seen in children and pregnant women after vaccination.
Bhushan also referred to international cases to make his point, saying that India can t deny the chances of adverse events when vaccination for Covid-19 begins. The nations where immunisation has already started, particularly in the UK, adverse events did take place on the very first day, he said.
