A fortnight-long special vaccination drive, with a view to completing two doses in as many people as possible, began on Wednesday in the wake of the emergence of the new and more transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variant Omicron.
All local bodies have been asked to intensify the vaccination drive, by tracing the unvaccinated or those who are due/overdue for the second dose. Those who have already had COVID-19 infection need get vaccinated only after three months. But those who are due for the second dose should ensure that it is not delayed beyond the stipulated interval, which is 84 days for Covishield and 28 days for Covaxin.
