Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Amid a surge in coronavirus cases in the country, Congress president Sonia Gandhi has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allow emergency use of all the vaccine candidates having required clearances.
In a letter to the prime minister after her meeting with chief ministers of Congress-ruled states, she also sought expansion of categories of people eligible for vaccination on the basis of need and exposure rather than age. While it will be necessary on one hand to substantially ramp up our domestic production capacity, it will also be prudent to allow emergency use authorisation of all the vaccine candidates that have the required clearances, without any further delay, she told the prime minister in her letter.
No New Registrations of Covid Vaccination for Health and Frontline Workers Apr 04, 2021, 11:21 IST
A piece of bitter news comes for all the Health and frontline workers. The central government has decided to stop all new Covid vaccination. The Ministry of Health on Saturday issued a statement in which they confirmed that the health and frontline workers who have already registered will get their vaccination.
The sources in the Union Health Ministry said that it has come to their notice that even those who are ineligible in these two categories have benefited by faking their identity as healthcare and frontline workers and registered for vaccination. Earlier central government has given the first priority for health and frontline workers as soon as the corona vaccination process began.
