Chief Minister Hemant Soren flagged off the Support of CARE India in Covid-19 vaccine drive (Vaccine Express) here on Tuesday. Speaking on the occasion, the CM said 60 mobile vaccination vans are being dispatched to different districts of the State on Tuesday
with the aim of speeding up the Covid-19 vaccination campaign in the State.
All these vans will serve as “Tika Express” to take the vaccination campaign to the masses. The CM said that all preparations have been made by the State government to deal with the possible challenge arising out of corona infection. The work of getting the people left out by running “Tika Express” in all the districts of the State is starting from today. With the help of these “Vaccine Expresses” it will be easier for people to get the vaccine. This facility will be available to the people at their homes only.
Soren said till now more than 1 crore 70 lakh people across the State have been vaccinated against Covid-19. About 40 lakh people have also received the second dose
of the vaccine.
The CM said in order to reach the maximum number of people in the State, the vaccination campaign has been launched on Tuesday in the State with the help of CARE India. He said that even earlier during the period of Covid-19, the State Government has worked to reach out to the people through new programmes to speed up the vaccination campaign.
The CM said very limited medicines are available in the country and the world to avoid the infection of Covid-19. Scientists have invented the Covid-19 vaccine to avoid this infection. All of us will get protection from Covid-19 by applying the vaccine, as well as by using our own understanding and discretion, infection can also be avoided. In any case, we should use our wisdom and save ourselves as well as our family from this infection.
The Chief Minister appealed to the people of the State to take necessary security to avoid the infection of Covid-19.
The risk of infection is not over yet. Don’t forget to take the infection lightly. Therefore, it is necessary that the guidelines of the government should be followed at all times.
Make sure to include essential preventive measures like face mask, social distancing, sanitising hands, etc. in your daily routine.
