Target is to vaccinate 2 lakh people across district
The district administration will be conducting a ‘mega vaccination drive’ in the district on Friday, Collector A. Mallikarjuna said.
The drive will be held at all primary health centres (PHCs) and community health centres (CHCs) from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., he informed. The Collector organised a video-conference to review the arrangements being made for the drive. He said that in the last two vaccination drives, only 50% of people in the age category of 18 to 44 years were vaccinated. In this mega vaccination drive on Friday, we have decided to vaccinate around 1.5 lakh to 2 lakh people, he said.
In the recent drives, the vaccination percentage in GVMC limits was around 69%. He instructed the zonal commissioners and medical officers to improve the vaccination figures.
