PUNE: Special and differently-abled citizens, who could not reach the vaccination sites, were inoculated on Monday as the vaccination drive reached their doorsteps. The civic body has started ‘vaccination on wheels’ for focused groups. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has urged NGOs and social groups to approach the PMC for arranging such drives. PMC has given jabs to 800 people in the last couple of days, since the drive started. So far, 12 special drives have been conducted. Five more applications are in the process, said a senior official of PMC. “The civic administration wants to make sure that all the due beneficiaries receive the jabs. So, we have started this drive. Those who fall in this category should approach the civic body,” said Rubal Agarwal, additional commissioner, PMC. As per PMC officials, the drive is being carried out with a public-private tie-up. The beneficiaries include patients in mental hospital and senior citizens. Even commercial sex workers were inoculated. Ten special men and women from Savali school for special children and their eight caretakers were vaccinated on Monday. “The drive of bringing vaccines at the doorstep is very good. It is proving to be helpful for senior citizens. The vaccination process can be carried out at ease with this drive,” said Madhavi Potdar, director, Kalpataru Sahaniwas.
