Parents of young children who allegedly died due to the adverse effects of Covid vaccine have banded together to seek justice, demanding accountability and greater transparency in public health policies. The parents sought fast track courts and vaccine courts to provide swift justice to those injured by vaccines and their families. According to them the current system of computing adverse events following immunisation is "flawed.
" "We need a total revamp of this and need an active, transparent and accountable AEFI system," said Venugopalan Govindan from Tamil Nadu, who lost his daughter after getting the shot. AEFI is an adverse event following immunization (AEFI) defined as any untoward medical occurrence following immunization which does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the vaccine. The adverse event may be any unfavourable or unintended sign, abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease.
"My niece was 23 years old and hale and hearty. It was mandated by the government and as well as by the corporates to get vaccinated. On July 4 she took Covishield.
At night she complained of severe headache and mild fever. Next morning she was unresponsive. She was taken to the hospital where she was declared brought dead," said the aunt of Anjali Pandey who allegedly died due to the vaccine.

The parents shared their harrowing experience resulting in the death of their loved ones. "The kind of the sorrow that this has inflicted on people is so immense, and we as a country, we are kind of going ahead with life as if nothing has happened.
And at least 50% or 60% of the people are celebrating vaccination as if it's a big success. There cannot be a much bigger tragedy, so surreal it is," Govindan said. The matter gains significance as the government has sought dismissal of a petition filed by parents of two young women who allegedly died due to the adverse effects of Covishield vaccine.
The Supreme Court listed the matter for further hearing on November 26. Earlier, in an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court in response to the parents’ petition, the government had said that although it urged everyone to take the Covid-19 vaccine jab, it never forced anyone to get “vaccinated against their wishes.” It also said that the Covid-19 vaccination guidelines issued by the Union health ministry did not envisage forcible vaccination without obtaining the consent of an individual.
The parents have filed a rejoinder in the Supreme Court, refuting the government’s affidavit and alleging that the government had forced people to take Covid-19 vaccines through direct and indirect actions. They have alleged that Covid-19 was made out to look like an unprecedented challenge to mankind, and vaccines were touted as the only way out of it by the government and the experts backed by the government without necessary evidence. Due to this “mass deception” by the government and the vaccine manufacturers, and all those pushing the vaccine, no training was done of doctors in the country to deal with adverse events, alleged the petitioners.
“No recording of these adverse events was done anywhere in the country because all healthcare institutions were told that the vaccine did not have any significant side effectss,” the petitioners said in the rejoinder. “The petitioners were also never given any information about serious adverse events of Covid vaccine from the vaccinator.” Besides seeking compensation, the parents in their writ petition filed in 2022, sought appointment of an expert medical board independent of the government to forthwith inquire into and investigate into the deaths of their daughters, and to share the report of the investigation with them.
They also appealed the court to issue a direction to the said expert medical board to prepare a protocol for early detection and timely treatment for adverse event following immunisation (AEFI) due to Covid-19 vaccine. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel ).
