Call for Review of Adverse Reactions to COVID-19 Vaccines in India

Amidst concerns raised in the UK High Court, a prominent medical expert in India has urged the government to investigate cases of adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines. Dr. Sanjay Rai, a key figure in India’s pandemic response, called for a review by the health ministry’s Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI) committee. While acknowledging the effectiveness of vaccines in mitigating COVID-19 severity, Dr. Rai emphasized the importance of evaluating rare side effects like thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). The plea for an expert panel to assess side effects has been filed in the Supreme Court of India, mirroring a class action lawsuit in the UK.
