Debalina Mandal (Intern Journalist) New Delhi: Healthcare workers should not doubt the vaccines used in India as their concern rose after multiple after-effects.
“The whole world is clamoring for a vaccine. If we still decline then it is a matter of sadness. … I will urge them (healthcare workers) to please endorse the vaccine. We have to start non-Covid services. Those who are fortunate to receive the vaccine should not refuse it,” said V K Paul, member-health, Niti Aayog, at a press conference in Delhi.
India’s health ministry said that 0.18 percent of the total vaccination has the effect of adverse events after immunization and only 0.02 percent of cases have ended in hospitalization. Since Saturday, India has vaccinated 630,000 people and is the fastest in the world.
Health Secretary, Rajesh Bhushan said that concerns regarding the adverse effects after immunization are unproven and insignificant and it is comforting to know that two of the vaccines are safe and there is no undue reactogenicity.
The central government has asked states of Punjab, Pondicherry, and Tamil Nadu to ramp up their sessions as they are less than 40 percent targeted vaccine coverage.
