Collector charts out action plan to accelerate drive in next few days
As the year-end approaches, the district administration is racing against time to achieve the goal of covering the remaining 30,005 eligible adults with the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine in the next couple of days to reach a significant milestone in the fight against the virus.
An estimated 95% of the total eligible population of 7,94,206 adults in the district have already been vaccinated with one dose. A little over 49% of the district’s eligible adult population received both doses till date, sources said.
The administration has been carrying out the vaccination drive in a mission mode since its launch to ensure cent percent coverage of all the eligible population in the district in September.
