How many parties are doing this, let Army handle it. Too many bosses.

dont think you should hit the pause button on 1st dose. Please assign separate centre's for 1st dose of Sinopharm and for the vulnerable the Astra Zeneca..please like the over 50, 80 , diabetic folks who were ill and are now ok

Please give the 1st dose to 25 to 29 year olds as offices have opened
