War Against Covid Not Over, It Can Come Back With Vengeance: AIIMS Task Force Chief

"We have to go far ahead of 100 crores and have to make everybody double vaccinated. So this is our aim and we are moving ahead, but we have to move faster and ensure that everybody gets the second dose as well," Dr Navneet Wig said.

As India has successfully administered 90 crore COVID-19 vaccine doses, Dr Navneet Wig, Chairperson of the Covid Task Force in AIIMS Delhi, on Saturday said that the war against Covid is still not easy as the pandemic can come back with a vengeance while asserting the need for the people to be cautious.

"We have to go far ahead of 100 crores and have to make everybody double vaccinated. So this is our aim and we are moving ahead, but we have to move faster and ensure that everybody gets the second dose as well," Dr Wig told ANI.

"And that is how we are going to win this war. It is not an easy war still, we cannot be overconfident, we have to be a little underconfident so that we don't lower our guard and take all precautions," he added.

Dr Wig further said that some states have still a positivity rate of more than 10 per cent. "It is not easy. Many countries are still fighting battles. So we have to be very cautious as this can come back with a vengeance," he stated.
