The Supreme Court on Monday announced a landmark decision on Covid vaccine policy that is no one can be forced to have vaccinated.
“Bodily integrity is protected under the law and nobody can be forced to be vaccinated”, the Supreme Court said. The court has added that” certain limitations on individual rights” could be imposed in the interest of community health.
Restrictions imposed on individuals through vaccine mandates can not be called to be proportionate, the court said.
The court will not impose restrictions on the individuals till the number of cases are low. Regarding this the court has said, “Barring Covid-appropriate behavior, we suggest no curbs on unvaccinated individuals in access to public place, services and resources if cases are low”.
