Mumbai: Even when the scope of the dose of Single Covid-19 vaccine Mumbai is almost 99% and double 60%, local environment offices find it difficult to walk on the last mile.
Bangsal officers said while they were able to track those who were not vaccinated or some vaccinated in large housing communities, slums were not easy to monitor.
Some wards, for example, have issued a letter to the housing community, asking for population population vaccination status in their buildings, including home assistance, gardener and laundry men, among others.
However, a Bangsal officer said, “In the case of independent buildings or housing colonies with several buildings, this is still possible.
But if it is a big society, there are more challenges because they get their vaccination status that lives are not possible, even for office carriers because of communication With these people limited.
“Last month, BMC had conducted a vaccination camp in the Locity of GL P Nagar Slum in Dahisar who had a population of around 50,000.
Former Shiv Sena Corporator Abhishek Ghosalkar said while the plan was to vaccinate 12,000, they could give Jab just around 4,000.
“The response is not as we expected.
However, the reason can also occur, the availability of vaccines only increased from August in civil centers and people began to come to take their first dose.
In this case, there is still time for them to get a dose Second, remember the minimum gap of 84 days between doses, “said Ghosalkar.
Problems such as vaccine doubts are seen among several semi-literate citizens, citizenship officials said.
Dr.
Bhupendra Patil, medical health worker, M-West Ward, said in the slum there were several who kept misinformation about vaccines and its efficacy.
“We therefore take the help of influencers of the local community or ask public health workers to bring these people to vaccine centers and ask them to take a shot,” Patil said.
Goreafa Corporator Srikala Pillai, mostly consisting of slum like Bhagat Singh Nagar 1 and 2, Laxmi Nagar and Indira Nagar, also, said, “Those who have semi-miles have wrong ideas about taking vaccines.
In a slum, most children Young has taken photos as a workplace or a local train travel mandate two doses.
But some of the adult populations are still left.
Besides going to these pockets and starting drive vaccines, I offer free cloth bags and face masks, which are a lot advance.
And Then we check the status of their vaccines and if they are not vaccinated, they are given a dose, “he said.
