MUMBAI: When will I get the Covid-19 vaccine? This is one question dogging everyone’s mind since India started its immunization campaign for health workers across the country on January 16. And the answer could be over five years, depending on certain parameters including your age, state you reside and category (non-priority group), based on the current pace of immunization.
Vaccinating India’s over 1.3 bn entire population at this stage with the two available vaccines, Serum Institute-manufactured Covishield and Covaxin, could run possibly for several years, according to a vaccine index developed by a group of researchers. The planned timelines are quite optimistic for the risk groups, with healthcare and frontline workers, expected to be vaccinated within half a year in most of the states.

The Tuesday before Lent is Shrove Tuesday, better-known in the United Kingdom as Pancake Day. According to tradition, Anglo-Saxon Christians would cook up big batches of pancakes to use up rich ingredients like eggs and butter before the 40-day Lenten fast. When the church rang the Pancake Bell on Shrove Tuesday (exactly 47 days before Easter Sunday), the faithful were called to confession where their sins were forgiven or shriven.

In a one-month span, the number of people saying they plan to be inoculated as soon as possible has increased 12 percentage points, with 60% of those surveyed now willing, and waiting. Concerns, the pollsters say, do exist about side effects and long-term implications of vaccination, but more now say they are more confident than anxious about the prospect. With this change in view comes a new issue. Now 52% of those vaccinated say the amount of time they think they’ll personally wait to be vaccinated is too long.
