Supreme Court On Vaccine Policy

The Supreme Court has asked the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Ministry to decide on a representation of a person seeking modification of COVID-19 policy to allow voluntary re-vaccination of persons who have received the Sputnik-V.

The Supreme Court today said no one can be forced to take vaccines for the Covid infection, while adding that authorities can impose curbs on individuals' rights in the interest of public health.

No one can be forced to take the vaccine, the Supreme Court said today, adding that the current policy "cannot be said to be manifestly arbitrary".

The Centre on Saturday told the Supreme Court that it expects to get around 188 crore vaccine doses - from at least five manufacturers - to inoculate the entire adult population.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Monday that the Centre would provide vaccines free of charge to all above 18 from June 21 and would take back control of vaccination from states, reversing a policy change that was enforced about a month ago.

Only four per cent of the country's rural households and 23 per cent of urban households have computers, according to a national survey, the Supreme Court has said, expressing concern over the centre's vaccine policy while highlighting the gaping dig

The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to place on record all relevant documents and file notings reflecting its thinking culminating in the COVID-19 vaccination policy, and the purchase history till the date of all jabs including Covaxin, Covishield

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday welcomed the Supreme Court's decision asking the Centre to review its vaccination pricing policy.

The Centres policy of paid vaccination for those between 18 and 44 is -arbitrary and irrational-, the Supreme Court says in a sharply-worded order that raises tough questions for the government.
