If the vaccination is not transparent and cannot be conducted following the issued health guidelines, people will tend to lose confidence with the vaccination program of the government.

Matter ends, no one accountable ? Sri Lankan style !

The rot starts from the top. So sad for the poor Rajapakse family and their friends what are you doing to my country

It takes two hands to clap. The ones who gave the jab are responsible not the recipients. If the authorities had refused after checking their identities it would not have occured

Lalith Sunday, 27 June 2021 11:27 PM

And breached travel restrictions also ...?

Senior citizen Sunday, 27 June 2021 11:34 PM

All these irregularities happened due to no order and system and the Political authorities to be blamed. No accountability, and no responsibility.

No privilege to jump the line to be vaccinated ..when we read the side effects that might happen to that ONE in thousand or what ever who got vaccinated ..and those who get positive even after ,,so isolate and be careful...so it might be great to wait

I personally dont see any wrong doing. We saw how people flocked in Abeyrama and other places where the 2nd dose was inoculated. People were frustrated of not being able to get their second dose and the fear of end of life time of the 1st. Government did not have any plan and people were not properly informed when and where they would get their 2nd dose. This was a complete failure of the system and not people. It was the vaccine that they obtained to save them and the country from the Pandemic. What should be investigated is why the whole drive was sabotaged and atleast a few hundreds were deprived of their 2nd Vaccine dose.

You must be one of those who got the Hora shot for sure.

Nish Monday, 28 June 2021 07:47 AM

I am sure those who have connections will not be charged. Another useless investigation

Terrence Monday, 28 June 2021 08:07 AM

Live and let live

MN Monday, 28 June 2021 08:17 AM

Who organized this unwarranted vaccination for braking all basic civil rules,and what would be the punishment,people watching with widely open eyes

Joshua Monday, 28 June 2021 09:07 AM

alex Monday, 28 June 2021 10:20 AM

Sumal Monday, 28 June 2021 05:28 PM

It proves government inability to provide vaccines to people on time.
