First and most important, he says, the govt must speed up approval process, if a vaccine is approved globally, it should be introduced in India right away. Second, on an emergency basis, govt should declare vaccine and their components as essential goods. Third, he says to tackle cases in hot spots in terms of vaccine delivery, India needs to release data. ICMR needs to make testing data public. He says data must drive decisions and not politicians.
