Chief Minister Shri Ashok Gehlot said that in the form of Omicon variant, a new existential crisis has come before the country and the world. To protect mankind from this danger, it is necessary that it is more than 6 months after the second dose of vaccine, all such people should get booster dose as per need and children below 15 years of age should also be given free of cost at the earliest. The State Government will pressurize the Central Government to take an early decision in this regard, so that the people of the State can be saved from the danger of third wave.
He directed that just as the State Government has made excellent management of vaccination so far with the cooperation of all sections, with the same spirit, 100 percent vaccination of 15 to 18 years of age group should be ensured in the same spirit.
Gehlot was addressing the children and parents present in the inauguration program of free vaccination for the age group of 15 to 18 years at Government Adarsh Girls Higher Secondary School, Gangauri Bazar on Monday.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister encouraged 5 teenage girls who got the first dose of Covid and presented them chocolates on his behalf.
The Chief Minister said that the threat of Covid epidemic has shaken the world. After facing the first and second deadly wave, now a new threat has emerged in the form of Omicon variant.
In view of the rapidly spreading infection due to the Omicron variant, which has reached most countries of the world, the World Health Organization has warned of its taking the form of a tsunami. We have to understand the gravity of this menace and ensure 100% vaccination from adults to children.
