President of Sri Lanka Medical Association(SLMA) Consultant Dr .Padma Gunaratna has made a written request from the Director General Of Health Services Dr Asela Gunawardana to reverse the Corona Vaccine enrollment as some health officials had taken an unapproved step to give the vaccine for 30-60 year age group instead of over 60 year group .
Accordingly Dr Gunaratna has stressed that as 70 percent of the local Corona deaths are being occurred among over 60 age group the Corona vaccine enrollment should be prioritize for that group and the National Advisory Committee on Infectious diseases had also given approval for this last Januay .
'" Sri Lanka Medical Association had ovservefc observed last week that most of the Vaccination centers established for Corona Vaccination programme had prioritize giving the Corona vaccine for 30--60 age group and that is not approved by the advisory committee .As the global vaccine supply is limited we should manage to use the Corona vaccine doses carefully in a useful manner " she has stated .
