The total stock of vaccines available in the State is only 9, 37,780 of doses. Hence, there is no possibility of majority of 26, 00,000 beneficiaries getting the second dose which is already overdue. The situation which prevails today clearly shows that if all the available 9, 37,780 doses are to be used for administering the second dose, a substantial number of beneficiaries who have taken the first dose will not get the second dose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court observed that there cannot be any distinction between the words &#8216;due&#8217; and &#8216;overdue&#8217; when it comes to administration of the second dose. Once as per the existing timelines, the second dose is due, it is an obligation of the Governments to ensure that the second dose is provided. If the second dose is not provided, it will be a violation of the fundamental rights of the citizens under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court further observed that If those who have taken the first dose are not administered the second dose on the respective due dates, apart from violation of the fundamental rights of the said citizens under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, if they are required to take the first dose again, it will be a huge national waste of the first dose already administered to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A mandatory direction to both the Governments regarding ensuring sufficient procurement of quantity of vaccine doses however was not issued in light of submission made by the Additional Solicitor General. It was stated that a decision on allocation of vaccine is likely to be taken and it was assured that the Central Government will make every endeavour to bridge the gap to ensure that no one is denied the second dose which has become due.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sum and substance of the guidelines by the Central Government appears to be that the first priority of the State Government should be to provide vaccine to those who have taken the first dose.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cBy way of an illustration, we may record here that if a person has taken the first dose of COVISHIELD more than eight weeks back, he must get priority over the person who has completed seven weeks from the date of taking the first dose of COVISHIELD. Thus, it is mandatory for the State Government to ensure that a rational and fair formula is adopted for giving second dose of vaccination.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Directions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>State Government must abide by the said guidelines considering the desperate and critical situation created due to failure to administer second dose to about 20,00,000 citizens.<\/li>\n<li>State Government shall place on record all the facts and figures (district-wise) regarding the second dose administered throughout the State<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Issue 3: Food Security<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Government of India decided to allocate free of cost food grains at 5 Kgs, per person, per month to nearly 80 crore beneficiaries covered under the National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA) over and above NFSA Food grains for next two months i.e. May and June 2021 on the same pattern as the earlier &#8220;Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PM-GKAY)&#8221;.
