Help is at hand
scholarships are the silver lining for families who have lost a loved one to
covid
The second wave of covid has affected people in different ways. Some have lost their sole breadwinner and have been pushed into poverty, overnight. Others have lost a chance to study in schools because their parents have lost jobs due to the lockdown. Still, others are unable to work because of the after-effects of covid. Families, children, livelihoods, dreams and homes have been destroyed. But there is a silver lining. A few NGOs and charity foundations are working together to identify such people and help them.
Corporate houses as well as medium and small-scale units want their employees vaccinated against Covid. Almost every household wants its domestic help inoculated.
The demand for Covid jabs has been on the rise as an increasing number of people are realising that only a widespread vaccination could result in an early resumption of some form of normality.
However, an uncertainty over supply is proving to be a stumbling block to faster vaccination.
Several private hospitals in the city are flooded with requests from corporate houses to set up Covid vaccination centres for the employees on their premises.
Woodlands Hospital has been requested by 990 companies to vaccinate their employees. Fortis Hospital has received 130 such requests.
