KOLLAM: The Covid vaccination at the LB stadium centre here on Saturday did not take place as health workers abstained from duty in protest against the assault on health workers recently.
A seven-member group of CPM and DYFI activists led by corporation standing councillor Sawad had allegedly assaulted health workers.
Sawad had alleged that officials in the DMO office were giving vaccines to their near and dear and to influential people out of turn.
Midhun, one of the staff nurses under the National Health Mission, told TOI that Sawad tried to manhandle him.
KGMOA office bearers Dr Reena N R, Dr Rohan Raj and Dr Rajani said in a statement that KGMOA would abstain from vaccination duty till effective action is taken against the culprits.
They met city police commissioner T Naryanan and filed a complaint.
An FIR has been registered in this regard.
However, Sawad denied the allegations.
