No Adverse Reaction To Covid Jab During Home Vaccination Encouraging: Court

The BMC on Wednesday submitted an affidavit in the Bombay High Court, saying 4,889 bed-ridden people registered for home vaccination so far and out of them, 1,317 were given the jabs.

The Bombay High Court on Thursday said it was encouraging to note that not a single bed-ridden person, who was administered the COVID-19 vaccine at home by the Mumbai civic body, showed any adverse reaction to the jab. A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni said it was satisfied that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) was moving in the right direction with regard to reaching out to bed-ridden people to give them the vaccine, and said all other civic bodies and district councils in the state should follow suit. The door-to-door vaccination drive began as a pilot project in Mumbai on July 30. The BMC on Wednesday submitted an affidavit in the HC, saying 4,889 bed-ridden people registered for home vaccination so far and out of them, 1,317 were given the jabs.
