Over 1500 people have been vaccinated during a special camp at the Sector 47 dispensary here in the past 17 days.

“The vaccination camp has been held every day for the past 17 days and 1,505 people have been inoculated. Even today, 80 people were vaccinated and Covid test was conducted on 55 people,” said councillor and former Mayor Davesh Moudgil.

Satya Pal Jain, Additional Solicitor General of India and former BJP MP, also visited the facility and hailed the organisers for their efforts.

“Vaccination is the most appropriate weapon to defeat Covid today. All those who are mobilising people for this purpose deserve all compliments,” said Jain.

“Wearing mask, physical distancing and vaccination at the appropriate time should become a part of life if we wish to defeat the Covid,” he added. Moudgil said he and his colleagues were consistently working on carrying out sanitization activities, Covid tests and vaccination in the area.

“We are persuading people to come forward for vaccination and all possible steps are being taken to stop the spread of Covid infection in the area,” Moudgil added.
