The unprecedented outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments to devise national strategies to curtail its spread. The present study analyzes the national strategies of India and the United States for the COVID-19 vaccine roll out. The paper presents an ontology of COVID-19 vaccine roll out, maps the national strategies, identifies, analyzes the emphases and gaps in them, and proposes corrections to the same. The analysis shows that the national strategies are selective in their focus and siloed in their approach. They must be systematized to address the emerging challenges effectively. Thus, there is need for a systemic understanding and analysis to reinforce the effective pathways to manage vaccine roll out, reposition the ineffective ones, and engineer new ones through feedback and learning.
新冠疫情的空前爆发迫使各国政府制定国家战略以遏制其传播。本研究分析了印度和美国在新冠疫苗推广方面的国家战略。本文呈现了新冠疫苗推广的本体论，梳理了国家战略，识别、分析了其中的重点和差距，并提出了相应的改进建议。分析表明，国家战略在重点选择上具有局限性，且方法上相互孤立。必须将它们系统化，以有效应对新出现的挑战。因此，需要进行系统的理解和分析，以加强管理疫苗推广的有效途径，调整无效途径，并通过反馈和学习设计新的途径。
