The government said on Friday that the Kovid-19 vaccination campaign would be enhanced and emphasized that there should be no misunderstanding about the effectiveness of vaccines in India. Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said that India has so far vaccinated 3.5 to 4 crore people and the side effects of vaccines have been recorded to be 0.000432 percent.
“Not every vaccine requires universal immunization and all these priority groups, which we are vaccinating today like healthcare workers first and then senior citizens and people between 45 and 59 years old, this will come in the coming days Will be increased These are all based on experts’ opinion but we have also considered the WHO guidelines. Kovishield of Serum Institute and Kovaxin of Bharat Biotech are currently approved for restricted emergency use in India.
Replying to a question by NCP MP Supriya Sule whether the government is aiming for universal vaccination of Kovid-19 vaccine, Vardhan said that it is not scientifically necessary to administer the vaccine to every person in the country. “Not every person in the world will be vaccinated.

Vaccination led us to victory over polio and chicken pox. “There is no misconception about Kovid-19 vaccines and people should get the facilities provided by the government vaccinated.”

Since then, They are closely working on all the scientific developments related to this, ”he said.
