Inoculate pregnant women: Mahila Cong.
The Hindu
‘Delhi should follow Mumbai model’
Delhi Pradesh Mahila Congress on Wednesday demanded that the Delhi government set up vaccination centres immediately for pregnant and lactating women, as the Central government had made changes in the guidelines on May 19 to include these two categories of women for inoculation. Delhi Pradesh Mahila Congress president Amrita Dhawan said that Mumbai has started vaccination centres for pregnant and lactating women without registration, and Delhi should do likewise to boost immunity of such women. “With Delhi running short of vaccines, and CM Arvind [Kejriwal] making no earnest efforts to buy vaccines directly from the Indian/foreign companies on time, it is unlikely that these special category of women would get their vaccine shots any time soon, as there is a severe vaccine crunch now,” Ms. Dhawan said.More Related News
