Vaccination drive could be affected by frequent change in vaccines, guidelines, policies, interdisciplinary conflicts of medical sciences, mistrust, evil propaganda over Government data, lack of communication & health promotion in rural areas of India.
With frequent reports coming through media, social networks and several other communication channels as well as individuals stating that even after proper vaccination with 2 doses as per guidelines and protocols of Ministry of Health & Family welfare, Government of India, there are cases of deaths as well tested covid-19 positive is a growing concern and a very big issue as addressed by accredited big channels (1). In such a report published by news18.com the channel reported that more than 2000 police staff in Uttarakhand tested positive for covid-19 in the second wave and 93% of them have received both the doses of covid-19 vaccines? Naturally after reading and viewing such reports people will ask how many people have covid-19 after proper vaccination and how many of them died? Why are they covid-19 positive & died after proper vaccination? Naturally it will produce fear among vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals which should be addressed timely and properly to ensure safe and smooth vaccination drive in a densely populated country like India having poor infrastructure and underdeveloped healthcare system. Added to this recently I have read a report published in scroll. In that WHO is reviewing data of Seychelles after some vaccinated residents tested positive for the coronavirus last week had been fully vaccinated, reported by Reuters (2). The mistrust for vaccines is growing day by day as there may be no public policy working at ground level to address the situations particularly in rural areas where most of the population is dwelling.
