BENGALURU: Volunteer groups are spreading the word about getting COVID-19 shots to India's poor and elderly, and ferrying some to vaccination centres in rickshaws and cabs following a surge in infections that killed hundreds of thousands.
SEEDS, an organisation that does relief work during natural disasters, has focused its efforts on poorer communities, where it says many lack even basic information about the vaccines. "We found out that a whole lot of people above 60 weren't even aware that they could vaccinated and protect themselves," co-founder Dr Manu Gupta said.More Related News
