Forums interact with Health Dept, ward councillors to ensure second dose
The intervention of various residents’ associations in the city to speed up the vaccination of senior citizens has come to fruition with the Health Department’s latest plan to reach out to the needy with the support of ward councillors, Junior Public Health Nurses (JPHN) and Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA).
Now, efforts are on to collect the ward-level details of all elderly citizens, whose final dose is due as a result of the vaccine shortage and other unexpected technical issues. The comprehensive ward-level priority list will be prepared carrying the names of persons who have completed 42 days after their first dose. Arrangements are also in place to give equal consideration for all wards.
