“Vaccines for All-Free for All” programme launched from the holy town of Katra situated in the lap of Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine, the Minister said it is an occasion for all of us, particularly the youth, to take a pledge to accomplish the world’s largest Free Vaccination Drive initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh has called for extending the drive-in Vaccination facility wherein the individual seeking vaccination has the option to drive into the nearest Vaccination centre in his or her own vehicle or transport and receive the jab while sitting in the vehicle itself.
Thereafter, the individual can be advised to keep the vehicle parked and wait there for the mandatory 30 minutes of observation period during which, if possible, he or she could also be served a light refreshment like a pack of juice etc. He said, this experiment had been very successfully tried with encouraging results in several districts of the country and could also be replicated here, in order to make the vaccination drive faster and more friendly.
