Mr. M. Venkaiah Naidu, the Vice President of India, on the 5th of January, Wednesday, called for a sense of urgency to deal with the Wuhan virus (COVID-19) surge.
Mr. M Venkaiah Naidu said, “We must consider it our ‘dharma’ and ‘kartavya’ to follow the Covid protocols at all times – wearing a mask, maintaining physical distance and getting vaccinated, and secure ourselves and our community.” In addition, he also asked parents of teenagers, eligible for COVID-19 vaccination to vaccinate their wards. Notably, from the 3rd of January, children between 15 years to 17 years old are eligible for COVID-19 vaccination. He called upon public-minded individuals, social advocacy groups, medical professionals and the government to reach out to as many people as possible and create vaccination awareness.
The concerns of Mr. Venkaiah Naidu came at a time when the nation was witnessing a sudden surge in COVID-19 along with its new variant, Omicron.
The statement of Mr. Venkaiah Naidu came during an inaugural message for the 15th Global Health Summit organised by the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI.)
