In a year of tremendous hardship, one of the most inspiring trends has been the arrival of a vaccine to fight Covid 19. The emergence of volunteers, healthcare workers and various agencies connected with preventing the spread of the covid 19 virus has been reassuring sign that the Government of India and all the Governments around the world have put their best efforts to contain this pandemic. In India the roll out of vaccination on day one has been very successful and this goes to show that the Government was ready to combat any unforeseen hurdles. Of course, the initial beneficiaries have been groups identified by the Government and when the general public is asked to take the shots there may be few pockets from where some ill-informed people may raise some doubts. This is where the advocacy skills of Rotary will come into play and our team must be ready in every District. I urge the leaders in every Rotary District to keep a team of dedicated volunteers ready to take the message of the importance of vaccination to the people and support our Government in making India free from Covid 19.
