AIIMS director Guleria said - who will get the vaccine before infection

Dr. Randeep Guleria, director of the Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), says that after the outbreak of the Corona virus, we will reach a situation when herd immunity will come. Then the vaccine will not be needed.

In an interview, he was asked that if the vaccine arrives by the end of 2021 or early 2022, will people not have immunity by then? If people start treating this virus infection as a minor disease like cold, cough, and cold, then it does not affect their health much.

In response, Randeep Guleria said that there are two aspects here. One is that the vaccine arrives soon. If it comes, it will be given first to those people who are more at risk of infection. This will reduce the number of infected patients.

During this time there will come a time when we will get herd immunity and people will also feel that immunity has come in them. In such a situation the vaccine will not be needed. If there is no change in the virus, then the vaccine will be needed, as there will be a risk of recurrence.
