COVID-19 Vaccination in India to Stretch To Late 2022 by Colleen Fleiss on January 28, 2021 at 9:22 PM COVID-19 vaccination programme in India will stretch to late 2022, suggested a new study. Similar will be the scenario for most middle-income countries, including China, said the report by the Economist Intelligence Unit, the research division of the Economist Group. While vaccination programme currently underway have raised hope of beating the pandemic, unequal distribution of vaccines, along with production issues, has become a major pain point. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday reiterated his call for equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines as the global caseload has surpassed the 100 million mark, another grim milestone as the pandemic rages on.
