Jalandhar, July 13 2021 : As the special drive to inoculate specially-abled persons at their doorsteps has gained momentum in the district, as many as 949 such beneficiaries have received jabs of Covid-19 vaccine at their homes.
Divulging the details, Deputy Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori said that the district administration had started this drive a few days back with an aim to reach out specially-abled persons at their homes while offering them on-the-spot inoculation facilities. He added that all the SMOs have been working earnestly to ensure that every single PWD beneficiary was delivered Covid-19 vaccine dose at the doorsteps.
The DC stated that all the five SDMs have been personally monitoring the drive in their respective jurisdictions so that this mammoth exercise could continue unabated. He reiterated the district administration’s commitment to reaching out to all the beneficiaries to make them part of the biggest ever vaccination program launched by the state government.
Sharing the efforts being made by the health teams, Senior Medical Officer Jamsher health block Dr. R.P.
