The semi urban street Shahpur Chainpur today witnessed no marathon race for any vaccination but a kind of walk down.
It was a walk down the street of Shahpur Chainpur in Palamu today to vaccinate those who float and vanish everyday but continue to miss the jab.
The walk down was done by the SDO Sadar Rajesh Kumar Sah and medical officer in charge of the community health centre Chainpur Dr Chaman Kumar Bhardwaj.
The vaccination team led by the ANM Basanti Kumari was in a car.
The purpose behind this walk down was to catch the elusive in the street who are dodging their vaccination by January 16 2021 and also the 15+ teens trying not to take the jab since the start of their vaccination from January 3, 2022.
Sources said the vaccination by the side of the road had an emotional and personal touch where the vaccinator and the vaccinated felt owed to each other.
Sources said neither the vaccinator made any complaint nor the vaccinated showed any discontent.
The vaccination by the side of the street was done in mutual confidence in each other, the vaccinator and the vaccinated said the SDO sadar Rajesh kr Sah.
A 15 plus boy was found working in a roadside garage who first told a lie that he was vaccinated but when queried with love and care agreed to take the vaccine saying he was making false claims much to his own disadvantage to his health said Dr Bhardwaj.
A fruit vendor was vaccinated right before his cart. The fruit vendor kept staring at his fruits all through his vaccination. A person in the hardware store was vaccinated.
A littie seller took his jab with his stock of littie safe in his glass box. A man sitting and enjoying his littie saw the vaccination being done with faith and trust said sources.
SDO sadar said such faceless eligibles matter most for the vaccination and our walk down the street for vaccination was for such people in the street.
A passerby said he had never believed that civil SDO and doctor would be rubbing shoulders together for our vaccination in the street.
The SDO sadar Rajesh Kumar Sah said the team craned out its neck into the autorickshaws asking the eligible passengers if any of you is unvaccinated and on getting response of someone travelling unvaccinated was then and there given the vaccine.
The SDO said these people when they will be back home will definitely talk about our efforts for their vaccination.
ANM Basanti Kumari said it was altogether a new experience to vaccinate people in whatever job or work they were found.
