Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the creation and use of indigenous vaccine to prevent corona is a matter of pride. It is the result of the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi that from today the countrymen will be able to avail the “Made in India Vaccine”. It has rightly said that “Modi hai to mumkin hai”.
Chief Minister Chouhan was inaugurating the Covid Vaccine Immunisation Campaign at Covid Block 1 of Hamidia Hospital on Saturday. The first vaccine was administered to ward boy Sanjay Yadav, working in Hamidia Hospital on the occasion. In the first phase, 2 lakh 25 thousand vaccines are being administered in the state today.

Chouhan gave detailed information about the vaccination programme in Madhya Pradesh. Chief Minister Chouhan said that Prime Minister Modi is a “Man of Ideas”. He recognized the crisis in time. The efforts made by him for the country for the control of Corona are historical. The making of indigenous vaccines to protect against Corona and the introduction of a countrywide vaccine has started as a campaign from today. For this, our scientists certainly deserve special thanks, who worked day and night to produce the vaccine. I salute the scientific community.
The Chief Minister said that today it is natural to remember the sacrifices of the matyrs who treated Corona victims at a time when people were afraid even by the name of someone infected by Corona. Many doctors lay down their lives while giving treatment services. Vaccination is being started by paying obeisance to them.
The Chief Minister said that the order of priority for vaccination has been set. In the first phase, Corona warriors including medical and paramedical staff apart from doctors from government and private hospitals will be vaccinated. In the next order, frontline workers including revenue workers, policemen, employees of urban bodies etc. will get vaccinated. Citizens above 50 and those under 50 years but suffering from multiple health issues will be vaccinated. Chief Minister Chouhan said that small health problems may arise after vaccination for which arrangements have been made. This vaccine is safe. After the first dose, the second dose will be administered after 28 days of the first vaccination. After this, antibodies will develop in 14 days. Those vaccinated will be kept under observation for 30 minutes after the vaccination, to see if the concerned person develops any AEFI symptoms for which necessary arrangements have been made.
