Massive vaccination drive planned across Mysuru district
The Hindu
1 lakh doses to be administered on a single day
The district administration and the Department of Health and Family Welfare will conduct a special vaccination drive before Deepavali to shore up the vaccination coverage across Mysuru district.
This was stated at the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) meeting held here on Thursday and the plan is to administer 1 lakh vaccination dose on a single day during the drive.
Mysuru MP Pratap Simha who chaired the meet said that the vaccination drive started as early as in February and gained traction since July by when the vaccine hesitancy had dropped. So 87 per cent coverage of the first dosage was not something to be proud of and the department should strive to reach 100 per cent of the target population, he added.
