It suggested that organisations volunteering to administer vaccines should be given a target to inoculate a certain number of persons through mass vaccination drives. This would help to achieve herd immunity and thereby prevent the spread of the infection, the association said.

Shops should be permitted to function for specific hours in the morning and evening to prevent crowding.
