Noida: Two Drive-Through Vaccination Sites specifically at Spectrum Mall, Sector 75, and Great India Place (GIP) Mall, Sector 38A, opened to invest in 45 years and the category above saw low additions on the first day.
While the 500 covishield doses are available in each of the two centers on Monday, only 160 people who took Jab at Spectrum Mall and 175 got shots in the GIP, which was less than 33% of the target day.
Officials say special centers will focus on the first dose recipient.
But in the end, it was found that most people appeared to find their second shot.
“We have told the residents about two special centers through our Asha workers and drive our consciousness.
But only a few people arise.
It could be because it was only the first day.
We will urge everyone to get the earliest shot.
This is the most convenient choice for Parents, “said Dr.
Neeraj Tyagi, district immunization officer.
The center of each 500 doses, each 250 doses for the first and second shots.
About 64,000 people in 45 years and the above categories have not taken the first dose of vaccines, according to the latest surveys.
Over the past 15 days, around 25,000 people were inoculated in Gautam Budh Nagar.
So far, 7,76,750 people have been vaccinated in the age group of 45+.
From them, 5.07,841 in the age group 45-59 years and 2.68,909 were 60 years and above.
“We noticed that many senior citizens found it difficult to get photos of vaccines.
That’s why we started a special site.
Both are drive-through facilities and not required online slot bookings,” Tyagi added.
People over 45 years looking for vaccine doses in two centers can appear with their aadhaar cards.
Tyagi said the sites would be operational as long as people appeared.
