Special camps to be organised at hospitals, colleges, and outreach centres under ‘Sponsor-a-Jab’ programme
The Ernakulam district administration hopes to achieve the objective of providing the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine to the target population within three months.
Around 47.4% of those in the category of 18 years and above had received the second dose, according to official estimates. District Collector Jafar Malik said various programmes would be organised in the coming days to realise the objective.
They include special vaccination camps at government hospitals, outreach centres, colleges, and private hospitals figuring under the ‘Sponsor-a-Jab’ initiative of the district administration and the Health Department. Vaccines will be given free of cost at these centres. People can also receive the second dose after making payment prescribed for private hospitals.
