Nagpur: a month ago, making people vaccinated in the buffer villages of Penh Tiger Reserve (PTR), Maharashtra, more difficult than conservation of tigers.
At present, with the intervention of the Wildlife Conservation NGO Satpuda Foundation, the locals will advance to be investigated and ward off Covid.
In April, when Covid-19 had spread its tentacles in rural areas, residents of tribal villages around PenH Buffer initially agreed to take vaccines.
However, some of the bearing comorbidity died even though it was affixed.
Victims also included patients who were covid positive but showed the reluctance to do the test.
“This sent the wrong message among the locals, which was then afraid of being inoculated, and did not even allow the vaccination team in their village.
The general perception is that they will die after taking a vaccine shot,” said Kishor Rithe, President, Satpuda Foundation.
However, added Rithe, “Our cellular health unit involved in regular non-covid health checks in Buffer villages is permitted, without interruption.
We take this opportunity by showing film and audio-visuals to merege people.
The plan is working now.” Sunday Then, NGOs organized free non-covid health camps for PENH buffer villages, including Ustripar, Ghoti (I & II), Kadbikheda, Kirangiya and Jamuniya.
Along with free consultation by experienced doctors, people’s blood pressure, sugar and pulses checked and drugs offered.
“Since last month, our team, along with the Ramtek Tehsildar and Deolafar Subdivision Officer (SDO) office, was involved in creating awareness about Covid testing and vaccination,” said Mandar Pingle, Senior Field Officer.
“We show off visual audio to help villagers understand the precautions to prevent the spread of Covid and also a clear misunderstanding and myths of vaccination.
The positive impact of the drive can be seen this week because a large number of people between 18-45 years now appear to drive vaccination in Pipariya, Ghoti, Sillari, “Rithe said.
Even members of Mandal Vyaghra Mitra, known as the main response team (PRTS), guidance and gypsy drivers now make themselves vaccinated in large quantities.
Natash Maraskolhe (25, a citizen of Sillari) said, “There was a fear during the first vaccination drive because many messages circulated on social media about the death caused by vaccines caused by vaccines caused by vaccines.
As a result, I hesitate to accept it.” However , said Maraskhole, “We are realized about precautions to prevent the spread of Covid during the film show by the Satpuda Foundation in our village this month.
The best part is that people underwent a free health check by the Satpuda Foundation before vaccinated.
I got my first shot a few days Then and will take second jab too.
