Ranchi: After passing December 25 deadlines for 100% vaccination against Covid-19, Jharkhand is likely to miss the second time limit of January 15 as well.
The concern arises from not only the slow drive of vaccination but also from the fact that fresh infections spread rapidly.
New infections, which are allegedly caused by new and more contagious types of viruses, have taken most of the health workers into the grip and rendering population that qualified temporarily not feasible to take Jab.
Earlier this week, the first dose coverage of vaccines reached 77% of the eligible population when the target was set at 2.41 crore people but as a center for vaccination for children in the age group 15-18 years the target population for state inoculation increased to 2.65 Crore, thereby reducing the achievement of the first dose up to 71%.
Achievements for the second dose of vaccines, which are estimated at 47% before the launch of vaccination drive for adolescents fell to 44% on Thursday.
In the revised target, the state machine must record the remaining 29% of the population that qualifies – in accordance with 70,90,600 people (approximately) with the first dose and 56% of the remaining population that qualified, in accordance with 1,48,50,814 people (surrounding areas .) With the second dose in the eight days ahead.
Simple calculations show that to achieve this Mammoth target of around 27 doses of lakh must be given every day.
Apart from the Mammoth target, new infection is another challenge overlooking the state health machine.
Doctors suggest that in the case of Covid infection, people should not take vaccinations, unless they recover.
The ideal gap after recovery around a week.
The President of the Indian Medical Association of State, Dr.
Arun Kumar Singh, said that anyone was infected with the current viral strain, even if asymptomatic, had to wait for RPCR negative reports before they left for Jab.
“This applies to the first and second vaccine doses,” he said.
On Thursday night, 10,990 active cases were in a country that made it unworthy for vaccine doses.
Preventive Social Treatment Head in Rims, Dr.
Devesh Kumar said that not all newly infected people were basically not vaccinated.
“But those who will take the first or second dose they have to wait for recovery and get their Jab after a gap about a week,” he said.
