The government has started a vaccination campaign against the war against the corona virus, while there are many people who are spreading strange rumors related to the vaccine among the people. Because of these rumours, people are hesitant to get vaccinated.
Under the scheme of the UP government, those spreading rumors about the vaccine will be dealt with strictly. Different types of rumors are being spread about vaccination in rural areas, after knowing about which the government has taken a strict stand.
In the instructions sent on Thursday to the District Magistrates and Chief Medical Officers of all the districts as well as the police officers, the government has said that according to the information received from all the districts, there are some mischievous rumors about the vaccine in urban areas and at many places in rural areas. They want to obstruct the vaccination campaign by spreading. It cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
Vaccination is very important in the interest of the country. Those spreading rumors should be immediately identified and explained to them that this vaccination is necessary for all of them and this will make people safe from corona. Even after this, if people create obstacles, then they should be dealt with strictly.
It has also been said in the instructions that if even after persuasion, those spreading rumors do not believe, then action should be taken against them under the Epidemic Act. The state government has prepared a plan to vaccinate 10 lakh people daily from July.
The government is running a campaign by setting a target of 10 crore vaccinations by August 31 and all the people of the state by December. In this, some mischievous elements are deliberately spreading rumors so that the campaign is hampered.
