The Supreme Court on Monday issued a notice to the Centre on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) which has sought information on clinical trial data of Covid-19 vaccines, which have been given emergency use authorization (EUA) in the country.

The petition has been filed by Jacob Puliyel, former member of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization, seeking segregated data from the clinical trials of the vaccines that are part of the country's vaccination drive against Covid-19.

The PIL, filed through advocate Prashant Bhushan, also asked the Supreme Court to direct the government to disclose post-vaccination data on adverse effects, on people who got infected with Covid post vaccination, those who needed hospitalisation and those who died. It also asked for the data to be widely publicised. The plea also challenged the vaccine mandates that forced people to be compulsorily vaccinated or lose their livelihood.
