“The first two months of the drive are limited to health care staff and frontline workers and vaccinations are carried out in hospitals and workplaces.
The request was picked up after the drive was expanded to citizens.
This causes better use of shares,” he added.

“Every vial usually carries more than 10 doses.
One dose is 0.5 ml.
We usually get 11 doses in a bottle.
The syringe we use has the capacity to accommodate 0.5 ml drugs, which help in accurate measurement.
Because That, we did not fill the vaccine less or more in the syringes and the recipient get the required dose.
We ensure that we do not shed while drawing a vaccine from the bottle and do not open the bottle unless we have at least 10 people waiting to be invested, “Pouloma said,” said Pouloma A vaccine at the Primary Health Center Nathupur.
He added that before, there was a waste because they got a smaller number of recipients.
