Health officials told to expedite jab drive to reach target
Health Minister Harish Rao has said that the government was committed to achieve 100% COVID vaccination by the end of December and asked medical officials to expedite the ongoing vaccination drive.
In a teleconference with the officials of Medical and Health department, programme officers, medical officers, health supervisors, ANMs and Asha workers of North Telangana districts, the Minister said that every household should be touched to secure details of the vaccinated, including the first and second dose. The remaining should be vaccinated immediately, he said.
The Minister personally interacted with Health officials of districts that had less than 80% vaccination figures and asked them to drive away the fears among people on the vaccination. Special drives should be held at schools, colleges and private offices.
