"Historic": A Special Stamp On India Covid Vaccination Drive Anniversary

Jan 16, 2022 1 min, 19 secs

India's COVID-19 vaccination programme, right from the stage of research and development to a successful implementation, is a role model for the global community and is guided by the unshakable conviction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the hidden potential and capabilities of the citizens of the country, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Sunday.

When the country rolled out the world's largest Covid vaccination drive on January 16 last year, a certain section of people attempted to sow confusion and spread misinformation over the effectiveness and safety of indigenous vaccines, Mr Mandaviya said as he released a commemorative postal stamp on indigenously-developed anti-Covid vaccine Covaxin to mark the first anniversary of the inoculation programme.

Thus, the COVID-19 vaccine research, manufacturing and the inoculation drive progressed at a steady pace," the Minister said.

Highlighting the remarkable efforts of all the stakeholders in the collective fight against Covid, the Health Minister said, "The entire world community is surprised with our efforts in fighting the pandemic.

He said proactive, pre-emptive, and the graded whole of government and whole of society approach are the hallmarks of India's Covid response.  Earlier, the process of vaccine research to vaccine availability for common people took several years, but it was the visionary leadership of Modi that it could be achieved in just nine months, Mandaviya said.

Union Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar congratulated the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the Bharat Biotech team for developing the indigenous vaccine in such a short span of time and said it has also got worldwide acceptance.
