The CSO collective consists of 25 district representatives and 15 core group members at the national level coordinating the response of participating CSOs throughout the country. [...] But the manner in which the vaccination program is being implemented, the public’s confidence in the government is eroding rapidly. [...] Therefore, we call upon the government to take all necessary steps to stem the spread of the virus and to: Ensure that adequate vaccinations are acquired on behalf of the public and keep the public regularly informed of the procurement arrangements that are confirmed and in pipeline; Publicize the plan submitted by the government to WHO to receive and administer vaccines donated through the gl. [...] Utilize the television channels, radio channels, newspapers, sms services in Sinhala and Tamil to ensure that comprehensive information on the place and time of vaccination reaches the public.
