Like the rest of India, West Bengal too, is gearing up for the coronavirus vaccination drive. The first consignment of around 1 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine 'Covishield' arrived in Kolkata on Wednesday. Covaxin, the other vaccine developed by Bharat Biotech, is also said to be available. Medical and nursing staff, who are called the frontline workers, will be inoculated first. Although some are ready to get the shot, some say they are not ready for it over safety concerns. We spoke to many hospital staff, including doctors, nurses and Group-D employees at different Kolkata hospitals. While a majority voiced satisfaction at the drive, not all healthcare workers hold the same view. Watch the reporting from Ground Zero.
