The ongoing COVID-19 vaccine drives across the world, including India, may have caused people to adopt risky behavior such as decreased or non-adherence to COVID-appropriate social behavior. Such phenomenon in which people are more likely to engage in risky behavior when security measures have been mandated is termed as the "Peltzman Effect" and apart from the emergence of various variants, it may have contributed to the recent upsurge in the number of new COVID-19 cases across the world, including in India. To make the worldwide COVID-19 vaccine drive successful, it is important to acknowledge, understand and minimize the potential harms from Peltzman Effect.
