Start inoculation of over 60s no sooner this stock arrives. They are the most vulnerable whose past contribution for the well-being of this country is invaluable. This time there cannot be preferred treatments of highly connected people. Get on board the private healthcare services too to expedite the vaccination drive.

Colombo Municipal areas are the most vulnerable and priority must be given to inoculate the people living in housing complex es and flats and shanties.

Thanks to the Media and opposition MPs who heavily criticised the government favourable and initial response of cheap and free Dammika Peniya rather than USD costing vaccine, today we get the vaccine from the govt free.
