On a day the government opened up the
Covid-19 inoculation drive for senior citizens, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said the vaccine should be given to youngsters first.
When asked if he would get vaccinated, the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha told ANI, "I am above 70 years of age. You should give it (Covid-19 vaccine) to youngsters who have a longevity in life as opposed to me. I merely have 10-15 more years to live."

Bay Area's homebound senior patients, caregivers struggle to access COVID-19 vaccines

That's according to Dr. Carla Perissinotto, the Associate Chief of Geriatric Clinical Programs at UCSF.
She has about 200 patients who are unable to leave their homes due to their medical conditions. None of them have yet to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
"Every week we keep getting told, 'no, there's not enough vaccines.' Our patients have just been devastated because we've been telling them it's coming," said Perissinotto.
She said when she does get doses of the vaccine, her team is ready for the complicated process of thawing the vials and rapidly distributing the doses throughout the city in her patient's homes.
