Doctors and experts are now calling to prioritise administration of COVID-19 vaccine to elective surgery patients as any further delays could complicate existing disease conditions.
Verdict has conducted a poll to assess if individuals would prefer to undergo elective general surgery procedures before getting vaccinated for COVID-19 or after.
Analysis of the poll results shows that nearly two-third of the respondents prefer to undergo elective general surgery after receiving vaccination against COVID-19, while the remaining prefer to undergo the surgery immediately without vaccination.
