Imphal, May 23 2021:
The United Front Manipur (UFM) has questioned all concerned the motive behind the alleged sudden change in the venue of a Covid Vaccination Centre (CVC) .
UFM, in a press release, said that the Medical Directorate on May 19 had announced five venues for Covid vaccination for the 18-44 age group.
The vaccination were to be conducted at Sangaipat UPHC, Kshetrigao UPHC, HWC Uchekon Laikon, Heingang PHC and HWC Sajor Leikai but sadly vaccination programme at the last venue was allegedly cancelled without any prior notification from competent authority or District Medical Officer causing unnecessary distress to the people who came for vaccination from early morning till 11 am.
It was later learnt that some people have received their doses of Covid vaccine not from the centre but from JNIMS where the centre was supposedly shifted, it said and questioned why prior information was not served and made people unnecessarily wait for a long time since early morning.
UFM also highlighted that helpline numbers issued in respect of Covid vaccination programme were not also responding causing inconveniences to the public.
While strongly condemning the incident, UFM urged the Medical Directorate to act responsibly during such a trying time.
