They have been asked to ensure dissemination of factual messages, besides broadcasting and telecasting messages of renowned doctors of the district.

“It has been reported that unfounded and misleading rumours are being circulated through social and other media, creating doubt about the safety and efficacy of these vaccines,” reads the order.
