MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Monday directed that if there are any errors in vaccination certificates, the authorities must step in and seek to rectify them.
The HC passed the order after Anita Castellino, counsel in a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Sidharth Chandrashekhar on CoWin constraints faced by citizens, said a family of three said both the dates, of the first and second dose and batch number, were the same after her second shot and the feedback she was given was to look at the site. The HC bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Girish Kulkarni said “people will doubt” the vaccination and asked for steps to rectify the particular problem.
The CoWin app will soon, in a week, get an upgrade to enable date and batch error changes but by the district immunisation officer, said a government official in court. At present, dates cannot be changed.
