Ghaziabad: Every Wednesday and Saturday, the Covid vaccination drive will ride a back seat in Ghaziabad from now and make the way for the district to focus on immunization of children regularly between 0-5 years.
Health officials said the direction in this case was recently given by the state government to all districts because a large number of children failed to get a vaccine for life-threatening diseases due to a pandemic.
In Ghaziabad, Covid vaccination will only be done in permanent centers in the two days.
The number of Covid centers will be around 30, which is almost half the numbers in other days, officials said.
Interestingly, the steps have occurred when the district faces a lack of vaccines.
Even when Ghaziabad almost stopped clusters in various parts of the district where the focus was to mobilize the maximum number of people for vaccination.
As a pilot project, clusters began in six district regions on June 21.
In addition to online registration, people are vaccinated through registration in place.
The District Authority has announced the expansion of clusters and is inoculating more than 40,000 people per day from July 1, but this cannot be practiced.
According to sources, new instructions apply to all districts and they have been directed to slow down the Covid vaccination drive.
They added that a district above which did more vaccination than the target was reprimanded.
According to the source of the Ministry of Health, a district is given a target of 8,000 vaccinations every day, while it is vaccinating 12,000 people.
Meanwhile, the effect of the New Order was seen on Wednesday.
Covid vaccination was carried out at 27 centers where 10,618 people were affixed.
While routine immunization was carried out in 54 centers and around 2,500 children and around 1,000 pregnant women were vaccinated.
However, the Head of the Medical Officer Dr.
NK Gupta said, “Other diseases of children are also quite deadly and they need to be immunized on time.
Now, ANM workers and Asha will be distributed evenly on the two days for RI Vaccination and Covid.
We get a supply vaccine regularly “
