Since March last year over 650 of their members have died due to Covid, they say All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists on Thursday urged the government to consider the 9.4 lakh chemists and staff as being on essential duty and give them priority in Covid-19 vaccinations.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the organisation said despite their repeated appeal, the government has so far not heeded their request for priority vaccination.
If they continued to be ignored, they will have no option but join the lockdown to protest as well as save their own lives.
