A group of public health experts, including doctors from AIIMS and members from the Covid taskforce in their report to PM Modi said that mass, indiscriminate and incomplete vaccination can trigger emergence of mutant strains. They recommended that there is no need to inoculate those who had documented coronavirus infection.
In their latest report, the experts stated vaccinating the vulnerable and those at risk, instead of mass population-wide inoculation, should be the aim at present.
They further said that evidence-based flexibility in vaccine schedules may need to be considered for areas or populations experiencing surge on account for specific variants
