The departments of General Education and Health have said that they lack data on the number of teachers who have not yet taken the COVID-19 vaccine.
The non-availability of data was mentioned in response to an application filed under the Right to Information Act by Raju Vazhakkala, a resident of Kakkanad. The applicant asked three queries on the status of vaccine taken by teachers in schools under the government and aided sectors.
The first question was on data related to the number of teachers who had taken the two doses of vaccine as on May 2022. He also sought the number of teachers who had not yet taken the first dose. The applicant had also asked about the number of teachers who had failed to take the vaccine on health and religious grounds.
