“Under the strict instructions of doctors who treated me for COVID I proceeded to get vaccinated today. Doctors strongly warned me that failure to get vaccinated may result in a recurrence of COVID which may be fatal. In the context of my present health condition I acceded to their directive.” Opposition Leader said in a statement.
