Yeah.

Who are the big players who are trying to fix this problem?

I'm guessing kind of, you know, Indian government, lots of other major foundations and things like that.

Okay.

So yeah, have we been making a lot of progress on the vaccination issue?

Yeah, I think, yeah, I looked this one up on Our World in Data because I was curious to know how things were going.

And it seems like we've been making massive progress.

So even just in, okay, so in the seven years from 2010 to 2017, I think we went from 2.8 million people dying from vaccine preventable diseases down to 1.7, just like a one third drop in seven years.

So it seems like we're kind of killing it.

So that's probably COVID, right?

People being stuck at home and was it more than that?

Yeah.

So you're saying like a much larger fraction of kids are getting the first dose, but then it drops off.

I guess, well, it suggests that the parents don't object to vaccines.

You might think, oh, it's like it's anti-vaxxers who aren't getting their kids, because I suppose that's what we're more familiar with in the UK or in the US.

But in India, it's more just that life's very busy or it's like more difficult.

You've got to go to a specific place at a specific time to get the kids the vaccines.

Yeah.

What's the practical situation?

Yeah.
