Cluster Model 2.0: Here’s how UP govt plans to ramp up Covid vaccination in rural areas

In an effort to ramp up Covid vaccination coverage in rural areas, the Uttar Pradesh government implemented the 'Cluster Model 2.0,' which goes into effect on November 1.

Taking a cue from the Centre, the Uttar Pradesh government is now planning to shift its focus to villages with a revised rural vaccination strategy. In a letter to state governments, the Centre said that the second dose of Covid-19 vaccine should be administered at the earliest.

Uttar Pradesh has administered a total of 12.54 crore jabs, including 2.95 crore second doses. The state has an eligible population of 15.5 crore.
