Noah: festive season ends, but still rain discounts and incentives in Noah.
From drugs, even gasoline, for development grants, people who have taken their vaccine injections offered to kill benefits.
Along with a sustainable awareness program, the Nuh government has been linked to innovative initiatives to encourage residents to get vaccinations against Covid.
Only an hour’s drive from Gurugram, which inches towards the inoculation of all the residents targeted, Noah has the lowest coverage of vaccines between 22 districts in the state.
In June, only about 10% of the targeted populations in the district had taken their first shot.
Counseling sessions from door to door, coupled with the promises of funds and discounts of development, seem to have helped.
On November 19, about 45% of the population had taken their first dose.
However, the second dose vaccination rate is slow enough.
Only about 10% of people in Noah have been fully vaccinated as they are now.
On Saturday, the district government was held by Mega’s drive.
It managed to inject 17,373 people in all districts, of which 15,409 took the first shot.
Deputy Commissioner Shakti Singh claims that more than 50% – and not 45.9% as mentioned in the record – from the population estimates have taken their first dose.
“This is because there are at least 40,000 vaccinations that have been completed but have not been uploaded.
If they are added, we will cross the 50% sign in the first dose.
The number of people who qualify for vaccination here is 7.5 lakh.
We have discussed 4.5 lakh so far, more than half, “Singh added.
In absolute numbers, there is a lot to be covered.
Of the 435 villages in Noah, residents who qualified only 18 villages were vaccinated.
But this comes after a difficult battle against doubts and rumors that vaccines may have side effects.
Even before the government announced a discount, Asha and Anm workers toured this 18 village and went to each and every household to raise awareness.
Reaching the village is not easy – there is almost no transportation.
So, the Ministry of Health is set for 44 vehicles to transport Asha and ANM workers.
“We chose 50 villages with the lowest level of vaccination and 50 with the highest.
Those who were hesitant to take vaccines were told about people who had taken their shots.
Every ANM worker was given two villages to raise awareness, “DC said.
“We have given aprons for Asha and Anm workers so that they instill confidence in them and they feel proud to do work.
Every day, I identify the top five vaccines and those who haven’t pursued.
I talked to both, “Singh said.
It also decided to involve the priest and Maulvis on drive awareness.
Slowly, the team was able to remove doubts in several villages.
“We have a long way to go,” said an official.
The government has also promised the Hospital development grant of 10 lakh each for the first 10 villages where the entire targeted population has taken both doses.
The administration has collaborated with the Nuh Chemistry Association, who has asked for a pharmacist to offer a 5% discount on drugs to those who have taken their first shots and 10% for those who have fucked twice.
Chemical Appeal Association Find answers.
More than 300 drug stores that offer discounts now.
“We were inserted poster outside each store, promising rebates.
Someone must show a certificate of vaccines and discounts will be offered, “Tej Pal said, who headed the Association of Chemists.
But what also works, the officials feel, is a 50P wound on every liter of gasoline for people who have taken at least one shot.
Rising fuel prices have become causes of concern across the country.
“This decision is taken at the sub-decision level.
“Previously, it was only the health department involved in motivating villagers.
Then, administration joins.
We made village level committees and village heads made part of the committee.
It is easier to convince villagers in this way, “said Surender Kumar Yadav, medical head.
Administration also compiled a list of disabled people.
The person will be vaccinated at home.
