VACCINATIONS 
AGAINST CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

Some Hindus are not or are refusing for vaccination for jabs for Covid-19' This does not sound good for within the Hindu  community. Just to remind you, that we are the 3rd largest community in UK.
A recent surveyhas indicated, that only 59% of Hindus above the age of 70 have had jabs, as compared 79% of white people.
My advice to all Hindus in Suffolk is to have jabs, when they receive letter from either their surgeries or NHS. It is absolutely essential, many Hindus had died with coronavirus, since  the pendamic started in February last year. 
Please do not believe in negative or fake views being circulated within the Hindu community via facebook or tweet, please get the jab done as soon as it is available either from your surgery or from NHS.

However having a jab does not immune you from virus, you still have to abide by the Government advice: Have a mask on your face; wash hands frequently and keep distancing.

Thanks
