The year 2020 was unquestionably momentous and tragic. 
Climate crisis, natural disasters, political upheavals and 
human rights abuses confronted humanity with 
unprecedented challenges but nothing impacted the world 
like the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic 
did.
We began 2021 with the pandemic still ravaging 
populations around the globe. In the middle of the 
catastrophe, with the importance of testing finally 
acknowledged and vaccines becoming available in many 
countries, there is hope that the disease may be brought 
under control. Researchers are still struggling to fit and to 
understand the coronavirus, but that's how science works.
Now COVID-free future is within our reach – a future where it’s 
safe to hug again and where our smiles no longer need to be 
hidden behind a mask. To get there, we will need a robust 
vaccination drive. We will need Indians to roll up their sleeves 
and get vaccinated but we will also need to be patient. 
Immunizing the country won’t happen overnight. It will be an 
incremental process informed by science and one that seeks to 
immediately stem the loss of life. Convincing people to take 
the vaccine is an immediate concern—it’s key to ending the 
pandemic. Earlier this month, the Government encouraged all 
health care workers, all essential workers, and the general 
public to receive the vaccine when they become eligible. In 
India we started its vaccination programme on January 16, 
2021, with this India is at the fourth spot in the list of countries 
with a maximum number of COVID-19 does administered. 
There were multiple reports on vaccine-related hesitancy among 
health workers. Where many healthcare workers have either failed 
to turn up or refused to get vaccinated in the first week of the 
pan-India drive. 
Ziqitza Rajasthan 108 Ambulance Driver says “The science and 
research behind Covid vaccine may save my life that’s because 
I’m about to get my COVID-19 vaccine. I have the fortune of 
becoming an early recipient, but only because I belong to a 
vulnerable group being a frontline worker helping save lives in 
Pandemic”. 
Ziqitza also urged governments across India to speed 
up the rollout of the vaccine, especially to those most 
likely to experience severe illness, such as seniors, 
Indigenous people and radicalized people – all of whom 
have been shown to be most at risk of infection.
Apart from this what’s also been lacking in vaccine 
delivery program is evidence-based information. Within 
this vacuum, misinformation, vaccine myths, and 
mistrust have thrived. Sadly, many people are hesitant 
to get vaccinated, particularly among marginalized 
communities who, we recognize, have all too often 
experienced negative interactions with the medical 
community.
 We at Ziqitza Healthcare ltd encourage all to receive the vaccine 
as soon as they are available. Our frontline healthcare warriors 
across India have served the people in need irrespective of 
thinking about their lives and safety. They truly deserve to get 
vaccinated first as they still have a long way to go and help people 
suffering from COVID - 19.
Together, we all can contain this virus, end the pandemic, 
and participate in India’s post-pandemic recovery. We 
believe that any risk posed by the vaccine is far 
outweighed by the benefits of being protected from 
COVID-19. As with any other medical treatment, informed 
consent is required. Everyone who gets the vaccine must 
understand the benefits of immunization, as well as any 
potential risks. All should be empowered to make an 
informed decision. We also know that historically, 
immunization programs have saved countless lives 
worldwide. The COVID-19 vaccines approved thus far have 
the potential to provide much-needed protection against 
the continued spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but this will 
only happen if sufficient numbers choose to be vaccinated.
