KOLKATA: Young adults with disabilities are not being left out of the Covid-19 inoculation drive.
Schools where these adults attend and study have started organising vaccination camps for them.
Manovikas Kendra joined such special initiative by inoculating 96 young adults who are attached with the institute.
“All eligible people in my family had taken the jab except my 20-year-old daughter as it was not possible to take him to any vaccination centre.
Being a student of Manovikas Kendra, and, also, having not attended school for more than a year she happily agreed to go there to take the shot,” said Jadavpur resident Saswati Chakraborty whose daughter with learning disabilities have been attending the school since 2008.
“Since it is difficult for these young adults to get the inoculation at any vaccination centre, we approached the state health department seeking permission for a special camp.
We are thankful to the health officials who immediately responded and linked us up with Apollo Hospitals,” said Manovikas Kendra principal Anamika Sinha.
While Apollo sponsored the doses for 50 students the institute sponsored for the rest.
