Special drive to inoculate entire population within specific time-frame starts today
The State government has decided to open vaccination centres at the village level to administer vaccine against COVID-19 as part of efforts to cover the entire population.
The State has an estimated 2.8 crore people aged over 18 years. Around 1.45 crore people have been administered the first dose and another 55 lakh were administered the second dose of the COVID vaccine so far. Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister E. Dayakar Rao said though the coronavirus situation was under control in the State, there was a need for officials at the village and mandal levels to actively take part in the special drive to cover the entire population within a specific time-frame.
Accordingly, sarpanches, members of Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency and Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency members and other elected representatives should effectively coordinate with officials to ensure vaccination of the entire population. The Minister on Wednesday conducted a video conference with officials concerned on the preparedness for a special drive to be launched from Thursday for vaccination. Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar and other senior officials attended the video conference from the BRKR Bhavan here.
