Summary:
New Delhi, Nov 25 (PTI) The Delhi High Court Thursday directed the Centre to clarify its stand on administering a booster dose to those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, saying it does not want a second-wave-like situation on account of being conservative.A bench headed by Justice Vipin Sanghi observed that while the western countries are advocating the administration of a booster dose, Indian experts were of the view that there was no medical evidence to support it.“We need to know from experts.
It should not be based on economics.
It is an expensive proposition (since vaccines are largely free).
(But) We don"t want to land up in a situation where we are overly conservative and we land up in a situation like we were in the second wave.
We may lose the advantage,” said the bench also comprising Justice Jasmeet Singh.“This is a very serious thing.
We are not experts.
