There have been reports of some parties obtaining the coronavirus vaccine via various influences, the Deputy Director-General of Health Services Dr. Hemantha Herath says. When inquired about non-systematic vaccination in violation of priority, he pointed out that everyone should be patient until their opportunity arises. “Some people have resorted to various forms of pressure such as using connections and positions to obtain vaccinations outside of the vaccination plan. Dr. Hemantha Herath also explained how persons with chronic diseases can be vaccinated. If there is an issue, they have the opportunity to see the provincial medical officer and take further action.”
