We request the following suggestions in the Covid vaccination drive. All citizens above 18 years of age shall be permitted to receive Covid vaccination.”

IMA also asked for the private sector family clinics to be included actively with their participation in the vaccination drive as the private hospitals, which will increase the availability of vaccination with the doctors and family physicians and bring a positive impact on the ongoing vaccination drive.

As per the recommendations of IMA, the vaccination certificate can be made a compulsory thing for permit to the public premises and to procure the products under the public distribution system. IMA iterated about the acute spurt of Coronavirus and for breaking the transmission chain, continuous lockdown for limited periods can be imposed for the non-essential areas like cinema, cultural and religious events, sports and other such related events.
