NEW DELHI: A group of public health experts, including doctors from AIIMS and members from the national task force on COVID-19, have said that mass, indiscriminate and incomplete vaccination can trigger the emergence of mutant strains and recommended that there is no need to inoculate those who had documented coronavirus infection.
In their latest report, the experts from the Indian Public Health Association (IPHA), Indian Association of Preventive and Social Medicine (IAPSM) and Indian Association of Epidemiologists (IAE) said vaccinating the vulnerable and those at risk, instead of mass population-wide inoculation including children, should be the aim at present.
