With the launch of vaccines for the age-group of 15-18 years, Awaken India Movement has initiated a campaign to create awareness about informed consent for Covid-19 vaccine for children. An open letter is being circulated online by several concerned citizens attached to the movement.

“Informed consent is the bedrock principle on which most of modern research ethics rest. It would be very beneficial if we, along with your involvement, insist on transparency regarding Covid-19 vaccine safety data, list of ingredients, their side-effects and advisory on contraindications, with reference to all immunisation/medical intervention/testing methods, as part of the medical informed consent process.
