Bombay High Court: Start door to door vaccination for senior citizen

  • | Wednesday | 12th May, 2021

Bombay High Court suggests starting a door-to-door vaccination drive proactively. 

Amid the Covid19 surge, the Bombay High Court said on the Covid19 deaths that if the door-to-door vaccination drive for the senior citizens had started a few months back, then many lives would have saved. 

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday expressed its disappointment at the Centre for refusing to start door-to-door Covid vaccinations for senior citizens, saying that many lives would have been saved if only authorities had conducted the exercise. 

A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni once again asked the Union government to explain why it would not start door-to-door inoculation campaigns when the lives of the country’s citizens were at stake.

The bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni questioned the Centre`s reluctance on the door-to-door inoculation issue after the Additional Socilitor General said the Union had opposed it even in the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, Chief Justice questioned the Centre for not placing anything on record to show it had re-looked its vaccination policy despite the ASG making a statement to that effect in the last hearing.
