Vaccine hesitancy in some communities: Amit Shah
Ahmedabad: Expressing concern over vaccine hesitancy of some communities, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has urged the people to spread awareness about the benefits of vaccination to win the battle against coronavirus.
Mr. Shah, who is on a three-day visit to Gujarat since July 10, also urged youths and volunteers of social organizations to spread awareness among the masses about a free food grain distribution scheme of the Union government meant for the poor hit by the pandemic.
"Coronavirus is a huge challenge before mankind and India fought this battle well. If you compare the deaths to population ratio of other countries, you will realize that India came out of this situation as a winner and that too with very few casualties," said Mr Shah.
"But, no one should be under the impression that our fight is over. Because the only way to win this battle is 100 percent vaccination of the masses. However, some communities are still hesitant to take vaccines. People are not coming forward out of fear that the vaccine will adversely affect them," Mr. Amit Shah said while addressing the gathering at Swaminarayan temple in Adalaj village in Gandhinagar.
