Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) vicechancellor Prof Tariq Mansoor on Thursday admitted that vaccine hesitancy had played a significant role in surge in Covid-19 cases among university employees and their families and the consequent deaths.

Till now, several employees, including 18 serving faculty members, a large number of retired professors and non-teaching staff, have died due to the virus.

In a letter to the members of AMU community, the VC appealed to all the deans, principals, chairpersons, provosts, heads of departments and teaching and non-teaching staff and alumni to motivate and make efforts that all of them and their family members as well as students get vaccinated against the virus.
