They can dial 9944762792 and fix an appointment

For senior citizens across the city who need support to get vaccinated, there is help from volunteers. Mark1 Events has launched free cab service to help senior citizens get vaccinated. Sudarshan Seshadri, its Managing Director, said the service launched on Wednesday (April 21) has received about 65 calls. If a senior citizen wants to get vaccinated, he or she can dial 9944762792 and share details of their age, address, name, etc. Mark1 will contact the nearest vaccination centre and check for availability of the vaccine and also fix an appointment for the senior citizen. It will offer free cab service with a volunteer for the senior citizen to get vaccinated. “There are many people aged above 60 who have their children living abroad. They may need help to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and hence, we have organised this service,” he said. People who want to volunteer to take the senior citizens to the vaccination centre can also contact the same phone number, he said.
