Guwahati: The lack of management right in vaccination centers in the district has led to the chaos and harassment of beneficiaries in the busy seasayer season when people have to queue since the morning to register their names.
However, the Ministry of Health states that there are enough stocks and supply of ordinary doses.
The police must be called to manage an angry crowd at Lakhimpur, which is already under the hours of the round.
Many districts, those facing the skills of the second wave, saw these disorders in vaccination centers.
The second dose is due to most of the population this month because the gap between two doses for the covishield has increased to 12-16 weeks.
While those aged 45 years and over were included for vaccination from April 1, Phase III Drive Vaccination began from the first week of May for those aged 18 to 44 years.
Data obtained from the State Immunization Office stated that 87,919 people were still waiting for the second dose of Covaxin and 3,39,093 beneficiaries awaiting the second Covishield shot.
“We have accelerated the inoculation of drives from this week.
With the availability of Covid-19 vaccines, the revised daily inoculation target is now 2.5 lakh.
At this speed, it will take 140 more days to vaccinate the entire population of 2.31 crore in Assam,” Immunization spokesman and director of health services (family welfare), Assam, Munindra Nath Nathy, told TI on Monday.
Among 2.31 Crore populations, ending 4.62 doses of crore must be given.
Of these, around 1.10 crore doses have been given.
Until now, a total of 89.65 Lakh 18+ populations were vaccinated with the first dose in Assam and 19.68 lakh received a second dose.
Health officials felt that after six and a half months from the beginning drive vaccination, there were still several bags where people were hesitant to vaccinate because myths around vaccination.
Each covid vaccination center (CVC) has the capacity for vaccination 150-200 beneficiaries per day by one health staff team.
If the vaccine is available, even two teams can be placed in one CVC.
“There is no end of vaccination needs.
The more the shipment we get, the more help will occur from the third wave,” said a senior health department official.
Seuti Konwar, an old housewife, must queue from early morning in the center in the Lakhimpur District for vaccinated.
“Many neighbors we don’t realize the date of availability.
I learned from my neighbors when the vaccine will be given.
What we need is a mechanism to tell us before.
Otherwise, many will lose their valuable time among the bushing seases of busy rice,” he said , In Guwahati, despite a high awareness campaign, many people have not been vaccinated.
Chandan Kumar Saikia, Secretary General of KK Handique Nagar Nagar Unnayan, who attended a trip like that on Monday, said, “There are around 15,000 people in our area, but until now only around 3,000 have been vaccinated at least with one dose.
We are ready to support the organization Vaccination to make successful vaccination camps.
