No jabs for people without homes or photo ID cards

Many living on the streets are most vulnerable to COVID infection, say NGOs

Several people who are homeless, living on streets of Hyderabad, and do not have a photo ID card, did not receive COVID-19 vaccine yet, said members of NGOs working for welfare of people without homes. Members of Aman Vedika, a NGO, said that while those with Aadhaar card or other ID card were administered the vaccine, those who do not have an identity card were not given the jab. “We request Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to provide COVID-19 vaccine to people who do not have an identity card too,” requested R. Indiramma, project coordinator at the NGO.
