Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu has called for removing vaccine hesitancy among some sections of people. He has also called for a focussed approach to dispel myths and bust fake news around Covid-19.
Noting the effect of mental stress and fear among people, he said that misinformation on Covid-19 and vaccination were a matter of serious concern.
Releasing the book Kotha Kathalu an anthology of 80 short stories on Covid-19 in Telugu on Saturday, he felt that vaccination drive should become a people’s movement, he said that India had fared reasonably well in tackling the pandemic in spite of the huge population and lack of adequate health infrastructure.
The Vice-President pointed to the importance of mental health as a public health issue in the wake of the pandemic and the need to address it in a holistic manner. Highlighting the importance of consuming a balanced diet, he cautioned people, particularly the youth, against becoming addicted to fast food.
