Karnataka High Court Disposes of Man’s Plea for Second Covid-19 Vaccine Dose

The Karnataka High Court has dismissed a petition filed by Vinod Kumar M N, seeking a second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Justice M. Nagaprasanna observed that Covid-19 has subsided and vaccines have become unnecessary today.

The petitioner argued that he was entitled to a second dose under Article 21 of the Constitution, like other Indian citizens. He sought a direction for the State government or a hospital in Mysore to administer the vaccine.

However, the court disposed of the plea, deeming it unnecessary.
