Can India Vaccinate Fast Enough To Avoid A Third Wave? Experts Say...

Can India Vaccinate Fast Enough To Avoid A Third Wave? Experts Say...

Despite halting all exports in April and benefiting from a huge vaccine producing industry, India has covered only 4% of its vast population, putting it far behind most of the West and China, which is deploying about 20 million doses a day.

Officials in New Delhi rejoiced earlier this week when India hit a single-day record by administering more than 8 million Covid-19 vaccinations. But even this unprecedented pace may not be fast enough for a country just emerging from a devastating second wave to head off a third one, experts say.

Despite halting all exports in April and benefiting from a huge vaccine producing industry, India has covered only 4% of its vast population, putting it far behind most of the West and China, which is deploying about 20 million doses a day.

"I don't think the recent spurt can be maintained, given what we know of the supply situation," said Gautam Menon, a professor of physics and biology at Ashoka University, who also works on modeling outbreaks. "The single-day spike seems to have been the result of a concerted effort by some states, who may have stockpiled doses for this purpose.
