Centre on the auspicious occasion of Dhanwantri Diwali has launched mega vaccination campaign called “Har Ghar Dastak”
What is the campaign all about?
- The health workers would go door to door and vaccinate the eligible candidates.
- This campaign would go on for a month
- This would include vaccinating people for both the doses.
Health Minister Mansukh Mandviya mentioned that 78% of eligible Indians have been vaccinated with the first dose of the Covid -19 vaccine and 38% have received both the shots. He highlighted the need to accelerate the pace as more than 10 crore people have not taken the second dose after the prescribed interval. The intervention is also required since various countries are seeing a spike in daily Covid cases
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also set to hold a Covid -19 review meet as soon as he is back. Presently he is in Glasgow attending the COP26climate conference.
