Chhattisgarh Health Minister T. S. Singh Deo termed Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan’s remarks as unfortunate as Mr. Vardhan said the State was trying was spreading misinformation and panic on COVID-19 vaccination. Mr. Deo said such statements affected the joint efforts in the fight against pandemic.
