The vaccine drive was launched on January 16 with healthcare workers and others at the frontline of the coronavirus fight receiving jabs of two vaccines - Serum Institute of India's Covishield and Bharat Biotech's Covaxin. Many states are struggling to meet targets and hesitancy to take vaccines and the fear of side effects are seen to be part of the reason. In the second phase, it is the turn of those above 50 and people with comorbidities to take shots.
