‘Authorities should ensure that the bedridden get timely help’
A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Thursday directed the State government to take a decision in 10 days on home vaccination for bedridden patients and senior citizens who cannot move out of their residences. The Bench comprising Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque and Justice Kauser Edappagath observed that the State government should make every effort to ensure that the bedridden as well as the senior citizens who could not move out of their homes were provided vaccination at their residences. The court pointed out that the government had included bedridden patients in the priority category for COVID-19 vaccination. If the bedridden patients and senior citizens who could not move out due to illness or any kind of disability were not vaccinated at their homes, the very purpose of such vaccination would be defeated.
