Bengaluru: The government has planned to refuse access to free Covid treatment to those who are denying the vaccine, if they contract Covid in the future.
The government is indeed thinking of such a step. Dr Arundhati Chandrasekhar, mission director, National Health Mission of the state told the Times of India, “Although coverage was high, we have not crossed 50% yet. When the pandemic was at its peak, everyone wanted a vaccine. Now that it is here, there is hesitancy. There are many rumours pertaining to the vaccine going around that need to be busted.”
