Doctors’ Group Urges Centre To Review All COVID Vaccines In View Of Covishield Side Effects

When the COVID-19 vaccines were being administered, not many people were aware that it was being done without the completion of phase-3 trials. Administration of COVID-19 vaccines was started without the manufacturers having complete information and data on the possible short-term or long-term side effects, or fatalities, said Dr Sujata Mittal, a gynaecologist and oncologist.

There is an already low awareness around vaccine injuries, especially in India, she said.

Thousands of women reported abnormalities in their menstrual cycles, which was confirmed much later as a side effect of the vaccine in a study published in September 2022, she added.

“The Awaken India Movement (AIM) has been collecting details of Covid vaccine deaths covered by media/social media in India and sharing them with various high authorities of the country since 2021, when the vaccination began. The government has failed to respond to our repeated requests to investigate deaths and debilitation from adverse effects of vaccination,” Dr Kothari said.

The AIM urged the government of India to compensate all the victims of COVID vaccines, including their family members, through a mechanism that involves vaccine manufacturers as well. “We also demand establishing fast track courts and vaccine courts to provide swift justice to the vaccine injured and their families,” Dr Mittal said.
