India is struggling with a second wave of the pandemic with more than 4,00,000 daily new coronavirus cases being reported in the past few days. As COVID-19 continues to claim lives by the minute, do we have the capacity to protect those most at risk? Safe and effective vaccines will be a game-changer but do we have the strategies in place to ramp up production and address vaccine inequity?
