Nashik : Corona patients are increasing day by day in the city. The special thing is that most of the people are getting cured by staying at their homes and getting treatment. But now that a new corona virus, Omicron, has surfaced again, it can wreak havoc. Keeping this in mind, the Central Government started vaccination of adolescents between the ages of 15 and 18. But, the children have turned their back on this and it has come to the fore that even half the target has not been achieved in Nashik. Concerns are being raised about this.
Adolescent immunization was started across the country from 3 January 2022. The initial response to vaccination in Nashik was overwhelming. In just 11 days, 36,000 children were vaccinated in the city. But in the past few weeks, children have turned their backs on vaccination. The target is to vaccinate one lakh children every month. But so far only 48 thousand 223 children have been vaccinated. So the administration has now decided to speed up vaccination in schools and colleges. Meanwhile, booster doses have also been given in the city from January 10. Out of a total of 25,000 frontline workers, only 13,125 have taken the booster dose. Hence, it seems that frontline workers have also turned their backs on vaccination.
