LPU vax drive: 150 inoculated on Day 1

Jalandhar, April 5

Prioritising Covid vaccination for its employees, Lovely Professional University (LPU) organised a massive vaccination drive at Uni-Hospital, situated within the university campus, for its staff members. On Day 1, 150 employees got vaccinated.

LPU is among first few educational institutions to begin administering the direly required vaccines to faculty and staff. In this regard, the HR Department at the university took initiative, and announced an online registration link for staff members, with necessary guidelines to be followed. The result is a massive immunisation drive at the campus. Maximum of the staff members volunteered and got registered.

By providing needed information about the vaccination and establishing supportive policies and practices, LPU is helping increase vaccine uptake among its workforce. Prior to this, wearing masks, keeping social distancing, and sanitisation were also compulsory for all staff members and visitors while being on the campus, or for any movement. It is also still being strictly observed, from Day 1 of implementation by all students and staff, including security staff, maintenance/construction workers, gardeners and allied workforce. — TNS
