Include legal fraternity in the list of priority groups for COVID vaccination : TNAA

Chennai, Jan 4 (UNI) The Tamil Nadu Advocates' Association (TNAA) on Monday urged the Central and the State governments to immediately declare legal fraternity as essential service personnel and include them in the list of priority groups for COVID-19 vaccinaton in the first phase/stage itself.
In a letter to the Supreme Court Chief Justice, Madras High Court Chief Justice, Union Health Minister, TN Governor and Chief Minister, Puducherry Lt Governor and CM, TN Health Minister
and Union and State Health Secretaries, TNAA President S Prabakaran said not including lawyers
in the priority list of professionals eligible for inoculation for COVID-19 in the first phase of the
vaccination drive was 'unfair' and 'illegal', to say the least.
Terming the leaving out lawyers from the priority list was due to the misplaced priorities of bureaucrats, he said the central and state governments should immediately contact the Bar
Council of India and the Bar Council of TN and Puducherry for the list of practicising lawyers
and work in coordination with them to conduct vaccination camps in the first phase.
''The governments should make available necessary number of vials/doses of the vacciation to
the Bar Council at the Centre and the states so that all members of the legal fraternity could be reached out without fail'', Mr Prabakaran said.
''The TNAA hereby puts the central and the state governments on notice that if lawyers and judicial officers are not declared as priority professional eligible for innoculation in the first phase, the TNAA will approach the competent judicial forums and obtain necessary judicial orders and directives'', he said.
