Senior citizens can dial GHMC’s helpline number for the jab
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is offering COVID-19 vaccine booster shots to senior citizens with co-morbidities in the safety of their respective homes.
A statement from GHMC on Monday informed that those with other ailments seeking booster dose may call its helpline 040-21111111 to get the jab at home.
The government has approved the booster dose for persons over 60 years of age. In view of this, those with comorbidities, who are concerned about visiting primary health centers or vaccination centers, may call the helpline and ask for the vaccine.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
