Covid-19: 70,000 vaccinators, another 30,000 from private sector, to give shots

The government is preparing a list of vaccinators required to administer the Covid-19 vaccine —first to an estimated 30 crore priority population in the initial months of 2021 and gradually to others. While there are around 70,000 vaccinators in the public sector, the private sector is likely to contribute around 30,000 more, including doctors, nurses and lab technicians who can innoculate people.
