Over 13,000 students in State yet to be vaccinated
Medical students and their parents in the State have demanded that all students of medicine and allied courses be given two doses of COVID vaccine in view of the uncertainties about the beginning of regular classes in the State’s medical colleges. Only half of the medical students in government and private medical colleges in the State have been vaccinated. When a section of them got the first dose, there are many who have not been vaccinated at all. “Vaccinating all of them is the best way out to circumvent the crisis looming over medical education in the State,” said Habeeb Rahman, father of an MBBS student at M.E.S. Medical College, Perinthalmanna, and joint secretary of the Parents Coordination of Medical Students (PCOMS).More Related News
