Vaccine hesitancy, false records mar \'Har Ghar Dastak\' vaccination drive
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: Amidst the ongoing ‘Har Ghar Dastak’ Covid vaccination drive launched by the Central government under which healthcare workers like ASHA in all states visit door-to-door to vaccinate the eligible, vaccine hesitancy and fake certificates seem to proliferate in the city. People are receiving their fully vaccinated certificates even when they are yet to take their second dose. N. Sandhya Rani, an ASHA worker at the special vaccination drive for the Cantonment area says, “It is very difficult to assess who are actually vaccinated and who are not, because people are using their falsely generated fully vaccinated certificates in the COWIN website and skipping their second dose.” Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, several residents in the city said that they had received their vaccination certificates without even getting vaccinated. Even though I am fully vaccinated, the certificate shows I am vaccinated for only the 1st dose, I request the government to help us clear such a mess,” said Jayesh S., 60, a businessman.
