Population Of Sikkim Meagre Yet Vaccines Not Available: High Court Asks State To Take Proactive Steps For Procurement; Frame Policy To Combat Third Wave Of Covid-19

Live Law  

The Sikkim High Court on Friday expressed concern over unavailability of Covid-19 vaccine in the State and directed the authorities to take proactive steps in this direction so that the vaccination drive can be taken up on "mission mode". "Although the population of the entire State stands at a meagre number of approximately 7 lakhs, we are informed that presently vaccines are not available for the 18-44 age group whose population reportedly stands at 2,90,000 only," a Division Bench of Justices Meenakshi Madan Rai and Bhaskar Raj Pradhan observed. "We are of the considered opinion that the State Respondents are required to have policies in place to deal with the third wave in order to shield the population of Sikkim from its repercussions and wide So far as the vaccination programme is concerned, the Bench said, "Considering the entire population of the State, a meagre amount of 14 lakhs vaccines would be the approximate requirement of the State. This becomes imperative in view of the peculiar circumstances of the State inasmuch as the foot-fall of tourists sometimes outnumbers the residents of a particular town and the availability of the medical infrastructure or the lack of it has to be thereby taken into consideration making the vaccination of the population an urgent requirement This becomes even more imperative looking at the present Covid-19 situation in Sikkim and the mortality rate of patients vis-à-vis the population.
