Omicron scare: IMA demands booster shots for healthcare, frontline workers #IndiaNEWS #Coronavirus
New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) urged Monday the government to announce ‘additional’ doses of Covid-19 vaccine for healthcare, frontline workers and immune-compromised individuals amid concerns over the Omicron variant of coronavirus. So far 21 cases of Omicron have been detected in India. It also demanded that the government expedite the proposal of vaccinating individuals aged 12 to 18 years.
At a press conference here, the IMA said that cases of the latest variant of coronavirus were reported from a number of major states of India. It said that the tally, which is in the double digits, is bound to increase. With the scientific evidence available and the experience noted in countries of origin, it is evident that the Omicron variant will have high penetrability and will affect more people, the IMA claimed.
“At a time when India is limping back to normalcy, this is a great setback. If we do not take adequate measures, we may have a massive third wave,? the IMA said.
The medical body also noted that India has crossed 1. 26 billion vaccinations, with over 50 per cent of the adult population vaccinated at least with one dose. The IMA said vaccination has proved that it will prevent severe forms of infection.
“So, if we can altruistically be focused on vaccination, India can definitely overcome the impact of Omicron. IMA earnestly appeals to everyone concerned to take the vaccination as priority agenda and focus attention to reach all the unreached and also ensuring the second dose is given to all the needy,? the IMA said.
