Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said there is a need to be proactive in the light of the new SARS-CoV-2 “variant of concern” Omicron and directed officials to review plans for easing of international travel restrictions in the wake of reports related to the new mutations of the virus. Modi chaired a comprehensive meeting to review the situation relating to Covid-19 and vaccination on Saturday, immediately after WHO designated Omicron a 'variant of concern'.

Fear of exposure to Covid-19 virus is driving health care workers and even some vaccine trial participants (who got vaccinated in September-October last year), mainly from the vulnerable groups, to opt for the third dose privately. Private organisations are extending their vaccination drive for third doses without providing a certificate. Meanwhile, the government is likely to come out with its policy on additional dose in the coming week for people with predefined conditions. However, their primary objective will be to immunise the 10-12 crores who remain unvaccinated.

Not a single batch of Covid vaccine has failed the safety, quality and efficacy test so far, even as India has rapidly expanded its manufacturing capacities over the last 11 months since January to cater to local and global demand for jabs.

Hailing the judiciary for maintaining the highest standards of conduct and for being the most trusted institution in which people have reposed faith, President Ram Nath Kovind, however, said judges should exercise utmost discretion while passing observations in court proceedings as it could lead to dubious interpretation.
