OPEN THE DISTRIBUTION PLAN UP FOR SCRUTINY As to why we don’t have enough information on a plan, Dr Khan says that governments need to be open with their data so that stakeholders can


strengthen it. “We should be transparent and involve all parties, including the social sector that can give real, on-ground estimates and did so in the lockdown.” When asked how we would


reach every person in need, he answered we would have to rely on technology. “Although Arogya Setu did not work, we will have to rely on digital networks to reach everyone. There is a fear


about security and exclusion, but hopefully, we will use technology to include people for the covid vaccine.” Dr Bhan agrees, adding, “It's important to have a standardized, transparent


framework communicated. There also needs to be an appeal mechanism, so those left out in the priority list can appeal to be included.”
