Lessons From India’s Second Wave: Real World Effectiveness of Health Care Worker Vaccination
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsVol. 96Issue 9p2301–2302Published in issue: September, 2021- Priya Sampathkumar
Cited in Scopus: 1Until the middle of March 2021, there was a sense that India had somehow miraculously averted the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
