New delhi date. Monday, May 31, 2021

An order was issued by the Madhya Pradesh health department on Sunday which drew criticism from the administration. The order placed sex workers in the high risk category and directed on-the-spot registration for vaccinations. There was a huge controversy over giving priority to sex workers in vaccination. The order was later revised to salon worker.

In fact, the health department on Sunday directed that 100 per cent onsite registration-based sessions be organized in high risk categories such as vendors of appropriate shops, people in gas cylinder supply, petrol pump staff, women working in households, grocery store traders, milk vendors, vegetable vendors, Vaccination of drivers, laborers, malls, hotels, restaurant staff, teachers, chemists, bankers, security guards should be ensured.

The sex worker wrote the last in the order so the letter went viral on social media. Upon learning of this, the health department revealed that it was a typo error and that the sex worker was written instead of the salon worker. A revised order was then issued stating that the hair salon worker was written in place of the sex worker.

After the copy of the order went viral, the Madhya Pradesh Congress tweeted targeting the government. He wrote in a tweet that the first vaccine for sex workers in Madhya Pradesh. Isn't this somewhere on the special demand of BJP leaders? Set priorities but be ashamed, even now the public is well aware of the declining character of BJP leaders.
