How Can Vaccination Efforts Be Accelerated?

It has been almost 4 months since our National Immunisation Programme began and today, we look at the potential solutions to ramp up our vaccination efforts. First, we speak about whether the Covid-19 vaccine should be made compulsory. We then discuss the issue of vaccinating children. Finally, we talk about whether government contract workers should be vaccinated as frontliners.
