&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Neither the CDSCO nor the national advisory group on immunisation was taken into confidence before Prime Minister Modi announced the rollout of booster doses.&lt;br /&gt;
* In reply to a series of RTI applications by The Wire Science, the PMO and the health ministry refused to divulge details of the government&amp;rsquo;s decision-making.&lt;br /&gt;
* One reply indicated that the government had misled the Supreme Court about the availability of the minutes of an NTAGI meeting in December 2021 deliberating &amp;lsquo;precautionary&amp;rsquo; doses.&lt;br /&gt;
* It also appears that the DCGI approved homologous boosting in the absence of data and allegedly because it was the legally safer choice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;In a shocking turn, The Wire Science has found that the Central Drug Standards Control Organisation (CDSCO) &amp;ndash; the country&amp;rsquo;s nodal drug-regulation agency and an independent body under the Government of India &amp;ndash; never approved the &amp;lsquo;precautionary doses&amp;rsquo; that Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged for rollout from January 10, 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In fact, the CDSCO is yet to approve of these doses &amp;ndash; a.k.a. booster doses &amp;ndash; to this day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At press conferences in November and December 2021, the top brass of India&amp;rsquo;s COVID-19 response programme &amp;ndash; Union health secretary Rajesh Bhushan, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) director-general Balram Bhargava and COVID-19 task force chief Vinod K. Paul &amp;ndash; were opposed to rolling out booster doses even as many other countries had started to. Their answers were muddling, but in all, their position was clear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;So when Prime Minister Narendra Modi suddenly announced on Christmas Day that &amp;ldquo;precautionary doses&amp;rdquo; would be rolled out in the country from January 10, 2022, the whole country &amp;ndash; and probably the country&amp;rsquo;s COVID-19 response team &amp;ndash; was caught off guard.&lt;/p&gt;

Nobody approved India's 'Precautionary' doses -Banjot Kaur

-TheWire.in * Neither the CDSCO nor the national advisory group on immunisation was taken into confidence before Prime Minister Modi announced the rollout of booster doses. * In reply to a series of RTI applications by The Wire Science, the PMO and the health ministry refused to divulge details of the government’s decision-making. * One reply indicated that the government had misled the Supreme Court about the availability of the minutes of an NTAGI meeting in December 2021 deliberating ‘precautionary’ doses. * It also appears that the DCGI approved homologous boosting in the absence of data and allegedly because it was the legally safer choice. New Delhi: In a shocking turn, The Wire Science has found that the Central Drug Standards Control Organisation (CDSCO) – the country’s nodal drug-regulation agency and an independent body under the Government of India – never approved the ‘precautionary doses’ that Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged for rollout from January 10, 2022. In fact, the CDSCO is yet to approve of these doses – a.k.a. booster doses – to this day. At press conferences in November and December 2021, the top brass of India’s COVID-19 response programme – Union health secretary Rajesh Bhushan, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) director-general Balram Bhargava and COVID-19 task force chief Vinod K. Paul – were opposed to rolling out booster doses even as many other countries had started to. Their answers were muddling, but in all, their position was clear. So when Prime Minister Narendra Modi suddenly announced on Christmas Day that “precautionary doses” would be rolled out in the country from January 10, 2022, the whole country – and probably the country’s COVID-19 response team – was caught off guard.
