Three mobile vans will carry the health staff to far-flung areas, says Collector
To speed up the COIVD-19 vaccination procedure in a few remote areas of Visakha Agency, the district administration has launched three mobile vans under the ‘Tika Express’ programme. The mobile vans would carry the health staff to far-flung areas, where vaccines will be administered to people on the spot by organising camps.
The district has received three mobile vans, which would be based at Araku, Chintapalle and Paderu, according to District Collector A Mallikarjuna. The vehicles which were provided with the support of Care India, will be deployed to those areas in the Agency, where vaccination procedure is not up to the mark, he added. “We will ensure vaccination procedure is taken up successfully in interior tribal regions apart from the high-risk areas,” he said.
