Vaccination to be done by private hospitals
Telangana government has permitted all banks and financial institutions, including the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and NABARD, to vaccinate the employees as well as their family members by engaging private hospitals.
The approval follows a request from the State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC) and the RBI for vaccination of their staff and family members, aged above 18 years. The Director of Public Health and Family Welfare, while conveying the go-ahead, said while doing so, the hospitals and the banking institutions should ensure that all vaccinations happen by registering in COWIN portal.

Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) had last month written a letter to the State Level Banking Committee (SLBC) convenors on the seriousness of the second wave of coronavirus. “We are going through the challenging period of resurgence of the mutant virus with several states reporting record high daily numbers of new infections and there are serious concerns about the economic activities, the IBA had written.
IBA has accordingly advised banks to restrict working hours between 10 am to 2 pm. Banks have implemented shorter banking hours on the advice of the IBA.
