The Supreme Court has termed the central government’s policy of applying corona vaccine to the people of 18 to 44 years in the country as irrational. The court, in its detailed order on this issue, said that the Center has made a rule to vaccinate people above 45 years of age free of cost. On the contrary, money is being taken to vaccinate people in the age group of 18 to 44 years.
The court said that in the first two phases of vaccination, the Center provided free vaccine to all. After this, when the turn of the age group of 18 to 44 years came, the Center put the responsibility of vaccination on the governments of the states and union territories. People were asked to pay for the vaccination of this age group. This order of the Center appears arbitrary and irrational at first sight.
The court also put forth the report of the 18-44 age group
According to media reports, during this remark, the Supreme Court also referred to the reports in which it was told that people aged between 18 and 44 were not only corona infected, but also had to stay in the hospital for a long time. In many cases, people of this age group also died.
The nature of the epidemic changed, 18-44 required vaccine
The court said that due to the changing nature of the corona pandemic, vaccination of people between the ages of 18 and 44 has become necessary. However, the court also said that arrangements for vaccination can be made separately for the priority group.
