AHMEDABAD/SURAT: Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation on Tuesday began a drive to vaccinate students who are scheduled to travel abroad for higher education.
Around 50 students were vaccinated across Ahmedabad on Day one itself, according to data provided by the civic authorities.
“Students who require to get vaccinated are supposed to register at the respective zonal offices of the AMC.
We will continue the vaccination drive on alternate days, depending on the number of requests we receive.
The state government then issues a vaccination certificate to each student,” said Bhavin Solanki, medical officer of health, AMC.
Students who are scheduled to travel abroad in July took their second shot at various designated centres in the city on Tuesday.
While vaccination process is smooth, change in travel guidelines and bans by foreign countries have left students on tenterhooks.
In times of pandemic, students willing to study abroad are going through a lot of hassles to get things in place.
“The only challenge is the frequently changing travel guidelines.
My visa process took a lot of time.
I hope nothing else goes wrong,” said another student.
