NMC officials say that they will begin vaccination 24×7 from next week to help beneficiaries working during the day and do not get time for vaccination.
Drive Vaccination 24×7 will start from Monday at the New Bytco Hospital and Indira Gandhi Hospital in the first phase.
NMC officials said, “We already have staff working 24×7 in these two hospitals.
The drive will greatly help the working class because it can be done whenever they want.” More than 1.50 beneficiaries of the lakh in the city have not received the first dose of vaccines.
