- The third dose so far only on 19,840
Nagpur. With a view to protect the growing ill effects of the third wave of corona and especially the youth from it, a campaign of vaccination for adolescents in the age group of 15 to 18 years was started from January 4. Within 15 days of the campaign, more than 87,000 adolescents were given the vaccine, but in view of the third wave, the pace of protection (booster dose) given to health workers, front line workers and those above 60 is slow. The fate of this is that many health workers and front line workers are getting infected with corona. It is said that so far in the campaign of booster dose, a total of 19,840 have been given the third dose including 7,034 health workers, 3,834 frontline workers and 8,934 in 60 plus category.
Vaccination beyond 35 lakh
It is noteworthy that the vaccine was declared effective to reduce the tragedy of Corona, after which the vaccination campaign was carried out in a phased manner according to the age group. In the initial phase, the campaign was slow due to lack of interest among the people towards vaccination, but it accelerated after the ill-effects of the second wave were exposed. The first dose, the second dose has been given to 14,43,588 and the third dose to 19,840. According to this, a total of 35,80,042 doses have been given in the city. Apart from this, most of the people are yet to be given the second dose.
