Hence such a reason is difficult to be sustained.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With respect to paragraph 6.3 in the said reasons above, Court stated that it is difficult to assume that ambulances fitted with refrigerators to maintain the recommended temperature are not available and, therefore, efficacy of the vaccine would be compromised or that AEFI following vaccination would have a detrimental effect on vaccine confidence and programme performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Should long exposure of the vaccine result in contamination, it is for the Government in its appropriate department to explore ways and means to prevent contamination as well as exposure beyond the recommended temperature so that the vaccination programme can be taken to the door steps of elderly and disabled citizens.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, Bench added that if indeed proper temperature control measures are taken and personnel well trained to vaccinate together with the vaccine is made to travel in appropriate vehicles for reaching duly identified elderly and disabled citizens, who could benefit by reason of such vaccination, Court does not see any reason as to why this particular reason could hinder adoption of a door-to-door vaccination policy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, while concluding High Court addressed the reason at paragraph 6.5, which was found oblivious of the realities at the ground level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court stated that it could take judicial notice of the huge crown at the vaccination centers at any given point where COVID protocols are being unintentionally compromised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Respondent did not explain how it would not be possible to maintain physical distancing and infection prevention control measures of a door-to-door vaccination campaign was introduced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anil C.
