Deadline on the cards for over 30s to be vaccinated?

20 Sep 2021

As the health authorities are facing difficulties in keeping vaccination centres open everyday, State Minister of Production, Supply and Regulation of Pharmaceuticals Prof. Channa Jayasumana expressed that they intend to complete the vaccination of all those over the age of 30 within this week. He had also stated that vaccination of this age was supposed to be completed last week, but the target saw an extension for another week. As this implies a potential deadline on citizens in this age group who are waiting to be inoculated, The Morning spoke to the Deputy Director General of Health Services Dr Hemantha Herath on the matter who confirmed that a number of formalities need to be ironed out first, before a deadline is implemented. Accordingly, this is to be based on the law of the country, along with the pros and cons of vaccination during a pandemic. After this, if any decision is made, Dr Herath states that they may be gazetted by the relevant authorities. When queried on what the authorities intend to do with ‘Anti-Vaxxers’ as this segment of the population appears to be growing, he explained that a decision will be taken by authorities based on scientific evidence as well as pandemic control methods used in the past. He also reiterated that all such decisions will be made for the betterment of the country.
