It has been five days since the so-called 'massive' corona vaccination began with pomp and show across India. But there does not seem to be a lot of enthusiasm amongst the healthcare workers for getting the vaccination. The daily number of healthcare workers getting the vaccines is quite moderate. The daily data of vaccinations provided by India’s Health Ministry indicates this.

As per the data, 191181 healthcare workers were vaccinated on January 16, 2021 till the evening, the day when the vaccination commenced.

On January 17, 2021, the number fell to 17072. This could be due to it being a holiday (Sunday). On January 18, 2021, a total of 148266 healthcare workers were vaccinated while on January 19, 2021, as many as 177368 workers were given vaccination shots. On January 20, 2121, the number of vaccinations across India fell drastically to 112007.

Healthcare workers seem to be apprehensive about the safety and efficacy of the two vaccines -- Covaxin and Covishield, even as authorities are trying to clear their doubts and apprehensions about the vaccines’ safety and efficacy.
