Chandigarh, January 16
On the first day of the Covid-19 vaccination drive, 374 healthcare workers were inoculated in Chandigarh against the upper limit of 500 beneficiaries that were to be vaccinated at five sites.
At GMSH-16, 100 beneficiaries got the vaccine shot, while 70 people were vaccinated at Civil Hospital in Sector 45. Forty-five beneficiaries received the vaccination at GMCH-32 site 1 and 50 others were given the vaccine dose at GMCH-32 site 2.
At PGIMER, 109 beneficiaries were immunised.
Arun, a safai karamchari at GMCH-16, who was working at the forefront in the fight against COVID-19 all these months, got the first jab.
“I was quite apprehensive since morning about the adverse events related to vaccine. But as soon as I received the first shot and spent 30 minutes in observation room, all anxieties withered away,” said the 20-year-old.
