The fourth round of the special vaccination drive for NRIs was held on Friday
Continuing the drive to vaccinate non-resident Indians (NRIs), who are heading to work or study abroad, the Dakshina Kannada district administration and Indian Red Cross Society vaccinated more than 500 people during the fourth round of the special vaccination drive for NRIs held at Canara Girl’s High School auditorium in Mangaluru on Friday. The special vaccination drive was taken up following a demand from NRIs for two doses of the vaccine to enable them to immediately report back for duty or to study abroad. The first round was held on June 6. Following the Central government’s permission to relax the gap for the second dose of Covishield vaccine for NRIs to four weeks, further rounds of vaccination are being held.More Related News
