Steps are being taken to provide COVID-19 vaccine to all citizens from 30 to 60 years from March 1, State Minister of Primary Health Care, Epidemics, and COVID Disease Control Dr. Sudarshani Fernandopulle said.
She said that 4,000 centres have been prepared for this purpose.
The State Minister said it is expected to operate at least 2,000 centres daily and will vaccinate about 300 people from each of these centres.
“We will commence this vaccination in the first week of March. We will be able to vaccinate 600,000 people a day. Priority lists have been prepared and action will be taken accordingly, ” she said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Fernandopulle said that so far no major side effects have been reported after giving 160,000 vaccines. “But any vaccine can have side effects. It means the body reacts to it,” she said.(DSB)

Is this going to be mandatory? I hope not! I don't trust any of these vaccines.

Can’t you think straight ? In the emergence of the new evidence, Why are you rushing with this Indian Vaccine ? Why not wait till the Chinese Vaccines arrive ?

In Japan, the first non medical group is over 60s. The WHO too recommends over 60s as they are high risk. Sri Lanka has no plan. Just following a donkeys advise, and we know who.

In the same time hope the centres will be in touch in case the effects gets unbearable.

The priority should be for those who are treating corona patients and those involved in quarantine services. Then it should be the elderly and not those between 30 to 60. It should be those over 70 or 75.
Where are the vaccines Monday, 08 February 2021 05:32 PM
Do you have the Vaccines available or going to be available?

Many Non VIPs and Non Frontline persons has posted in social media their vaccination... which indicates that no strict process is followed in Sri Lanka...
