Let’s begin the vaccine chapter with discipline, hope

It is dial V for vaccines as we get ready for hopefully the beginning of a chapter of healing. Vaccination days are here.


For healthcare professionals and workers at the forefront of the vaccine drive, their trial by fire begins as we enter a new phase. From the outbreak to the inoculation, we have a different focus now.


The civic authorities said in a front-page report in this paper that citizens need to bear with them as the vaccination drive takes off.


Senior officials are on record saying that they are prepared and people should not panic.

While it may be V Day, we need to dial a parallel number too, to go with that V. This is called dial D for discipline.

Display empathy and understanding for workers who are dealing with an unknown and deceptive adversary.

Show patience at centres. Desist from being self-styled and self-certified vaccine experts, spreading canards through click-happy social media avenues.

Follow instructions at centres, go with proper documentation and try to do the best of your abilities to ensure that the jab process goes as smoothly as possible.

At the start of the outbreak, there was plenty of advice about how we need to be one with our Corona warriors. Apply that same logic now, and realise that we need to be one with our vaccine warriors.

You may believe in the vaccine, you may not, you may be confused, wherever you stand on the spectrum, there is one all-important rule - cooperation and a spirit of togetherness.

Respect different opinions and decisions, make your own informed choices. There is a lot of trepidation, but let us walk hopefully, what should be the last mile, as well as we can.
