Indore News Indore, Naidunia Representative. The Corona Vaccination Campaign, which started vigorously, now seems to be slowly weakening. Once upon a time, more than 50 thousand vaccines were being administered daily, but at present the condition is that even ten thousand vaccines are not being administered daily. According to the people associated with the vaccination campaign, most people have had both the vaccines of corona, which is why the vaccination centers are no longer crowded, but they have no answer as to why people are careless about the vigilance dose. Huh.
Barely 3200 vaccines could be administered in the district on Thursday. In this also a large figure is of adolescents in the age group of 15 to 17 years. That is, people above the age of 18 in the district are not interested in vaccination, while statistics show that there are still a large number of people who have not been able to get both the corona vaccines so far. There are some people who have not got a single vaccine till now.
More carelessness about vigilance dosage
Those who have been given the second corona vaccine for nine months are being given a vigilance dose. It is surprising that there is no awareness among people about the vigilance dosage. The Health Department is also conveying to the people that the time has come to get their vigilance dose applied, despite this people are not reaching the vaccination centers. Here the vaccination of adolescents is also very slow. There are still at least 30 thousand adolescents in the district who have not yet received the first vaccine.
Schools got relief from making vaccination centers
The Health Department, in collaboration with the School Education Department, had set up vaccination centers in schools to provide the first vaccine of corona to adolescents aged 15 to 17. It got a good response. The vaccination of adolescents started from January 3, 2022. In the first three days, more than one lakh adolescents of this age group were vaccinated for the first corona virus, but since then the pace of vaccination started slowing down. At present, the condition is that there has not been a single day in the last 10 days when more than five thousand teenagers have been vaccinated against corona in a single day.
