This paper analyses the current progression of the coronavirus pandemic, with the help of a mathematical model based on differential equations. The model has been inspired by the standard SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) model in epidemiology. The model takes the effect of co-morbidities and vaccination into account. The susceptible population is split into healthy and co-morbid sub-compartments. A series of graphs is presented for the visual depiction of the situation at hand in the Indian context. Finally, a survey (carried out through an online questionnaire) based analysis of the perception of vaccination in the masses in general, and the medical community in particular, has also been presented.
