DEBATES

Nevertheless, reports state the local Attorney General Maneesh Gobin is preparing a rebuttal on the form and its content.

Signing the form before getting vaccination forces the recipients to drop prosecution before vaccination.

The form exempts the State from any legal liability in the event of complications or death of the person vaccinated by officials.

Activists believe the authorities should remove the clauses. Others are questioning the need for people to sign a form.
