Abstract

The stressful effects of the COVID-19 virus are well-known facts to the global community today. Ending its first wave in most of the countries of the world in 2020, it has started its second-round evasion in many of the countries of the West and then to the countries of the East. India is not an exception to its second-round aggression. A common recommendation by the scientific community is toward the proper vaccination policy to be taken by all the countries at a time to keep the citizens away from its common as well as mutational effects. Under this backdrop, the present study attempts to examine whether vaccination has any sort of linkage with the total number of COVID cases in India and its four states having metro cities for the period February 01, 2021 to May 10, 2021. Using appropriate econometric tools, the study arrives at the conclusion that both the number of vaccination and total number of cases have long run relation for India only, with no such results for the states. But the short run result shows that for India and Delhi, there are bi-directional causal interplays between the two. Only Maharashtra has causal influences from the total number of cases to vaccination, while for Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, there are no such causal interplays.
