Sr Citizens' COVID Booster Dose Delayed Due To 'Erroneous' Vaccine Certificate: Orissa HC Issues Notice To Centre, State Govt

Live Law  

The Orissa High Court last week issued a notice to the Central Government as well as the state government on a writ petition filed by two senior citizens submitting that they are eligible for COVID Vaccine Booster Dose, however, due to erroneous data in Vaccine certificate, their booster dose has been delayed. Essentially, the final COVID Vaccine certificate issued to the petitioners contains wrong data about the venue and date on which the second dosage was administered to them. Now, since the booster dose can be administered 9 months after the second COVID Jab, in the case of the petitioners, the Booster Dose should be administered to them in January 2022, however, due to the mistake in the Final COVID Certificate, the booster dose is scheduled for the month of May 2022. Against this backdrop, the petitioners moved the High Court submitting that they are above the age of sixty are coming within high-risk categories, for which they are eligible to get the booster dose on a priority basis as decided by the Government of India and the Government of Odisha.
