It also recommends that only fully vaccinated should have access to govt. benefits
With the State struggling to cover the last mile of COVID-19 vaccination drive, the State’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has recommended restricting access to public amenities and government benefits, such as ration and pension, for the unvaccinated.
Sources in the TAC said this would ensure more people come forward to get vaccinated. Over 41 lakh people are due for the second dose in the State.
At its meeting with Minister for Health and Medical Education K. Sudhakar on Tuesday, the TAC said only fully vaccinated adults should be allowed to use public facilities such as public transport, hotels, shopping complexes and malls, lodges, cinemas and auditoria, swimming pools, gardens and parks, libraries, factories and exhibitions.
