India's Modi kicks off 'world's largest' vaccination campaign

莫迪启动“全球最大规模的”疫苗接种运动

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched on Saturday one of the world's largest vaccination campaigns, as part of efforts by the populous nation to bring the Covid-19 pandemic under control starting with two locally-manufactured shots.

周六，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪启动了世界上规模最大的疫苗接种运动，以控制这个人口大国的新冠疫情，接种的是两种本地生产的疫苗。

Modi, who addressed healthcare workers through video conferencing, will not immediately take the vaccine himself as India is initially prioritising nurses, doctors and others on the front line.

莫迪通过视频会议向医护人员发表讲话，他不会立即接种疫苗，优先为护士、医生和其他前线人员接种。

“This will be the world’s largest vaccination programme covering the entire length and breadth of the country,” Modi’s office said in a statement this week.

莫迪办公室本周在一份声明中表示：“这将是世界上最大的疫苗接种计划，覆盖全国。”

Indian authorities hope to give shots to 300 million people, roughly the population of the United States and several times more than its exsting programme that targets 26m infants.

印度政府希望给3亿人注射疫苗，大致相当于美国的人口，比目前针对2600万婴儿的疫苗接种计划多几倍。

The recipients include 30m doctors, nurses and other front-line workers to be followed by 270m others, who are either aged over 50 or have illnesses that make them vulnerable to Covid-19.

优先接种者包括3000万名医生、护士和其他一线工作者，随后还有2.7亿人，年龄在50岁以上者或或其他新冠高风险人群（患有其他易导致感染新冠的疾病）。

Health officials haven't specified what percentage of the nearly 1.4 billion people will be targeted by the campaign. But experts say it will almost certainly be the largest such drive globally.

卫生官员没有具体说明此次接种人数占14亿人口的比例。但专家表示，几乎可以肯定，这将是全球规模最大的接种行动。
