The State Government has vaccinated 46.66 lakh people with the precautionary dose of Covid-19 which is 14% of the total beneficiaries.
However, Health and Family Welfare Director BijayPanigrahi on Monday said the Government is committed to complete the vaccination drive in the stipulated time period.
Panigrahi urged beneficiaries due for the third dose to come forward and get vaccinated as soon as possible. He said, “We have inoculated 14% of the beneficiaries, and we will vaccinate the others soon. There are still 24.9 lakh beneficiaries yet to take the second dose of Covid vaccine. I request them to get vaccinated soon.”
“We have already directed all districts to increase the vaccination centres in addition to forming four mobile teams in each block. We are also working on campaigns to create awareness among people for vaccination,” he said.
