1. Skepticism
India has a huge population- with an even bigger number of skeptics who continue to resist vaccination due to a lack of awareness. The question, “are vaccines safe?” has lingered in their minds for a longer time than anticipated. Rural residents are sometimes stigmatized in their community when it is revealed that they have been diagnosed with the Covid infection.
2. The discrepancy of demand and supply
With the unexpected rise in daily cases, India is facing a shortage of supply. This is has created a discrepancy, further encumbering vaccination drives.
3. Conservative policy
India bas been criticized for being surprisingly conservative in introducing new vaccines. Covaxin, Covishield and Sputnik are the only vaccines available.
