Coimbatore: Sathish Kumar City Health Officer said the survey was ongoing to identify the number of people covered by the first dose and the second dose of vaccines in each of the 100 wards in the city.
“This will help us identify areas that require more vaccine allocations and special inoculation camps and focus on the ward.
Also, we can plan drive awareness in such areas, if people are hesitant to be inoculated,” the officer said.
He said the corporate worker contract, which was issued to a door-to-door survey to identify people with flu-like symptoms, assigned to additional responsibility to collect details of people’s vaccination in each ward in front of their door at their door.
The officer said the survey team would fill details such as names, age, telephone numbers, and residents’ vaccination status in the form provided to them.
“If at least 10 people from the same road are ready to be invested, we are ready to send a cellular team to their doorstep and vaccinate them.
The team will also discuss people who have difficulty stepping out of their homes.” A sanitation inspector, who does not want to Named, say some people are reluctant to share details with people who run the survey.
“If they continue to keep insisting, we will intervene and collect details.
If people don’t want to take Jab, we will demand a written statement from them.
We cannot force him after one point.”
