That country will vaccinate everyone? LOL Joke of new years eve... This will be a mass placebo campaign with less potent low cost Indian made vaccine... rich people have already put their money in Moderna and Pfizer.

国家会给每个人接种疫苗吗?哈哈，笑话…大部分人接种的将是安慰剂，使用低效低成本的本土疫苗…有钱人已经订好Moderna和辉瑞的疫苗了。

Like in every step for pandemic control , we are lagging behind in rolling out the vaccine. Middle eastern countries, European countries, North Americans etc have already been vaccinating since last couple of weeks, and we are still conducting dry runs? How many more must die before vaccine is delivered?

就像控制疫情一样，我们在推广疫苗方面也落后了。中东国家、欧洲国家、北美国家等等已经在过去几周接种了疫苗，我们还在进行接种演习?在疫苗到位之前，还要死多少人?

Let priority be given to health workers, police, military, slum dwellers, old people, and women. People like me should get the vaccine LAST.

优先为卫生工作者、警察、军人、贫民窟居民、老人和妇女接种。像我这样的人应该最后接种。

kSingh

Uk head of state took it. Usa incoming president took it. Feku should take it also to set an example and give confidence to public.

英国首相接种了，美国候任总统也接种了。莫迪也应该以身作则，先行接种新冠疫苗，给公众点信心。

Shravan De

Vaccinate doctors and nurses first and give them their much needed break. Who nowadays risk their life to help others, stay away from family, work harsh duty hours for months? Yes soldiers too....

先给医生和护士接种疫苗，让他们休息一下。他们急需休息。现在有谁冒着生命危险去帮助别人，远离家人，在艰苦的工作岗位上工作好几个月?除了医务工作者，还有士兵……

Jeevan Parab
