COVID-19 patients will have to wait for three months after recovery to get vaccinated against the virus, mandates a new advisory from the Health Ministry. In a letter to chief sectretaries of all states and union territories on Wednesday, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said that the decision has been taken considering the evolving situation of the pandemic, emerging scientific evidence and experience from across the globe .
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has written to the Union Health Ministry requesting it to sanction 2,500 doses of Covid-19 vaccine Covishield on an urgent basis and allocate it to the Delhi government s vaccination centre at the apex court for vaccinating members of the bar body expeditiously.
In his May 17 letter, senior advocate and SCBA president Vikas Singh has said that considering the “grim situation” where the bar body has lost 90 of its members in the recent past, an appropriate direction may be issued to vaccine manufacturer Serum Institute of India (SII) so that Covishield doses could be provided on an urgent basis.
