Hyd: Vax drive a hit with 18 to 25-year-olds

HYDERABAD: Saturday’s vaccination-cum-awareness received an overwhelming response from youngsters — between 18 and 25 years of age.
They unequivocally said that getting the shot, while also following precautionary measures in public spaces, was the only way to fight Covid-19.
“I am glad I took the vaccine, with some encouragement from my colleagues,” said 22-year-old T Janaki, a MBA student adding, “I strongly support TOI’s campaign because if people follow it seriously, it can help in reducing the number of Covid-19 cases.” Another youngster, 21-year-old Chandu Reddy, a resident of Zamistanpur in Musheerabad, aired a similar opinion.
“Even if people get vaccinated, they must follow social distancing norms and wear a mask for their own safety and the well-being of those around them,” said the employee of a medical agency.
Reddy took his first shot on Saturday.
MBA student, G B Akhila urged everybody to stick to these protocols unless the spread of the virus is completely arrested.
“Until then, we do not really know who can get affected when and how.
So it is better to be safe than sorry,” she added.
Along with encouraging TOI’s campaign, some students also appealed to the police department to strictly imposes a fine on those ignoring the safety protocols.
According to GHMC records, of the 38,000 that have been vaccinated as part of this ongoing drive, about 3,000 to 5,000 are those between 18 and 23 years of age
