A recent petition in the Supreme Court has prompted to consider the side effects of the Covishield vaccine, sparking a discussion on national health safety.

The petition references documents from a UK court case with AstraZeneca, revealing potential severe and rare side effects like thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS).

This legal move seeks to establish an expert panel to assess these risks and a ‘vaccine damage compensation system’ for those adversely impacted.

This case highlights the critical need for a transparent evaluation of vaccine safety and adequate support for affected families.

But amid the vaccination of millions during the pandemic, the benefits of vaccination were far greater than the risks.
