Nagpur. District Magistrate Vimla R. Said that 90 percent of the deaths due to corona in the third wave are people who did not take the COVID vaccine. He appealed to the citizens not to put their lives in danger and definitely apply the vaccine because the main weapon to avoid this epidemic is the vaccine itself. In the press-council, he said that Corona is like a terrorist, do not let him enter within your limits. Make an effort that even if he does come, fight against him and defeat him. Vaccination is the most effective weapon.
Even after increasing the number of COVID patients due to vaccination, the number of serious patients was very less. That is why the government has emphasized on vaccination. Appealed to the machinery to find people in rural parts and apply the vaccine. Many people have not taken the second dose after taking the first dose. If such citizens have corona, there can be side effects in the heart and other organs. He appealed that the second dose should also be done. CEO Yogesh Kumbhejkar was present on the occasion.
5 lakh did not apply second dose
Vaccination got good response in the district. 98.58 percent citizens took the first dose but the percentage of those who took the second dose is only 68.31 percent. 5 lakh citizens in the district have not taken the second dose. 3 lakh are in rural and 2 lakh people are from city.
