Robust logistics, boosting personnel strength key for vaccination success: Expert As the country of over 1.3 billion people has begun a nationwide Covid-19 vaccination programme, managing the logistics and training the workers who will be closely involved in the roll-out remains a critical and daunting task, writes Praveen Pardeshi, a former commissioner of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. While developed countries like France and Germany are struggling to speed up the rollout, Israel has managed to inoculate 2 million people already, or 20 per cent of its population. Two factors central to Israel s success so far ample access to shots, robust logistics and supply chain have been put in place by India, writes Pardeshi, who served as BMC s commissioner during the early months of the pandemic in Mumbai until May 2020.
