Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Misa Bharti has alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photo was removed from COVID-19 vaccination certificates due to ongoing concerns regarding the Covishield vaccine. Bharti’s statement follows reports of AstraZeneca admitting that Covishield carries a rare side effect known as Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) in court documents in the UK. However, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare attributed the removal of PM Modi’s photo to the Model Code of Conduct for the Lok Sabha elections. AstraZeneca has emphasized the vaccine’s overall safety profile while reiterating its commitment to patient safety. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has criticized the BJP, claiming that people who received the vaccine will vote against the party due to concerns about its safety.
