“Elaborate arrangements have been made to vaccinate 20 lakh people above 18 years in these booths. Revenue, local bodies, education, Rotary International and other NGOs have extended their support. In order to avoid the third wave (of the Covid-19), the state is implementing the Covid-19 vaccination. It is very essential to attain the Covid-19 free status and also protect our people from the virus”, he said in a press release.

The vaccination booths on that day would function between 7am and 7pm and around 20 lakh people above 18 years are expected to receive the vaccination including both “first and second” doses. Adverse Events Following Immunisation (AEFI) kits would be kept in all the booths while necessary arrangements on campaigning have been made in all the districts like banners, posters among others.

People living in areas that are harder to reach, and those living in border districts of Kerala and other inter-state borders would be “focused”, he said. Maintaining social distance, wearing a face mask and hand washing activity would be mandatory during the vaccination camp and those people with symptoms of suggestive Covid-19 should not be allowed inside the booth.
