Good income will save us, not Covid vaccine: UP street vendors sceptical of taking jab
India Today
Street vendors and hawkers in Uttar Pradesh are apprehensive about taking the jab due to misconceptions even as they struggle to survive amid the lockdown.
The Uttar Pradesh government plans to vaccinate street vendors and hawkers against Covid-19 on priority from June 15. However, several street vendors and hawkers India Today spoke to are apprehensive about taking the jab due to misconceptions even as they struggle to survive amid the lockdown. Moh Israil, a 24-year-old vegetable vendor, said his income had gone down because of the "corona curfew". Feeding his family is Israil's first priority. He said he didn't want to get vaccinated because there was no one to take care of his family if he fell sick. Another vegetable vendor, Khurkaan, said he was absolutely fine and does not need any vaccine to save him from Covid-19. Khurkaan said he had been working throughout the pandemic and nothing happened to him as yet.More Related News
