Kolkata: Regardless of inundation in several places, the country recorded the best vaccination record for this week on Friday.
The number of doses managed has crossed 3 lakh jabs with 3.07,560 doses given until the latest report on the reach of their centers, people queue outside the CVCS as early as 4 in the morning in many places.
“There is also a portal problem for almost one and a half hours in the afternoon, slowing down vaccination.
The number will rise a little after the delayed data is included,” said the Ashim Welfare Family Welfare official of the Malang.
Because of heavy rains the previous night and the next water hole on Friday in many part of the kolkata, bottles could not reach several centers or consignments that were very late.
As a result, people have to wait for several hours.
Some of them even have to go back without Jab.
Many health clinics located in Bangsal cannot be accessed for most of the day because the streets lead to them are flooded.
“We have a vehicle used to bring vaccines to our center.
But the people who go take vaccines cannot come to the center.
The water enters the clinic that we have to delay vaccination for that day,” said an official at the clinic in Jorasanko.
In many cases, health workers cannot even reach the centers because of puddles.
“The woman who manages the vaccine comes from Titagarh but she has not been able to come because of rain,” said Head of the Center in Chattawala Gali from New Cit Road.
In many large centers, such as tropical medical schools and Kolkata medical colleges, vaccination starts after 11:30 a.m.
“Our people reached a late depot.
Waterlogging also caused a lot of delays,” STM officials said.
Apart from all opportunities, the state can reach the target of 3 lakh daily doses on Friday.
On Monday, health officials have told all CVC to maximize their target because the government now has a comfortable stock for 3 lakh plus a dose a day.
“We got an additional 8.2 lakh covishield dose and 59,170 covaxin doses on Friday.
So overall, we have received 80 lakh plus this month’s dose on the previous estimate of a 75 lakh dose for July.
If we continue to get a vaccine without interruption, we must be able to take a better speed, “said the official.
A few days ago, Chairman of the Minister of Mamata Banerjee during Delhi’s visit had urged Narendra Modi to share more vaccines for Bengal.
