KOCHI: With the increasing number of complaints against alleged favouritism by private hospital authorities, and some elected representatives in giving vaccination, the state-appointed district vaccination team has decided to take stringent action against those found guilty.
The team members, including a nodal officer, assistant nodal officer and other officers concerned, will make sure that the vaccination in both government and private hospitals are carried out as per the Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) guidelines issued by the health department.
Recently, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vjayan himself directed the district collectors and police to take strict action against private hospitals flouting vaccination norms to vaccinate their relatives and friends first.
