Remember when Kapil Kapil Dev and Sachin Sachin Tendulkar swore by Boost as their secret of energy?

And the iconic 'I am a Bournvita boy/girl' ads in the '80s?

My entire MBBS fees was under 30k for full course at University of Delhi.

Our new study highlights the overlooked challenges faced by the transgender & disability communities in vaccine rollouts, emphasising the imperative of an intersectional approach & addressing communication inequities as pivotal factors in restoring trust expresshealthcare.in/news/new-study…

I spoke to Rema Nagarajan of TOI . Just two points

1 The SLA of UK kept on sending notices to Patanjali under Rule 170 which was subjudice though my complaints were under DMR Act 1954 only !

2 The Ministry of Ayush took a U turn on 01/11/22 , using the subjudice card of Rule 170 !!

The research illustrated that among transgender & disability communities:

🔵Trust in systems like government, health & pharmaceutical institutions influenced intent to vaccinate

🔵Concerns about side-effects in relation to specific health needs led to delays in vaccination

We share findings from VaccinEquity 1, a participatory qualitative study delving into COVID-19 vaccination decision-making among the transgender & disability communities in India.
