District Administration urges residents to get second dose of their Covid19 vaccination 

Ludhiana, November 30, 2021: As a large number of residents are yet to receive their second jab of Covid19 vaccination, the District Administration have evolved a multi pronged strategy wherein 35 permanent vaccination centres have been set up in the district, besides the SDMs have been directed to set up call centres through which they would call such persons and motivate them to get fully vaccinated.
While providing information, ADC (Jagraon)-cum-Nodal Officer Vaccination Dr Nayan Jassal stated that a total of 7,90,263 persons are yet to receive their second jab of Covid19 vaccination. She said that sadly, people believe that the Covid19 has become thing of the past, which is not true. She said that everyone knows that with the new variant ‘Omicron’, people should not take Covid19 lightly and should get fully vaccinated by visiting their nearest centre.
She further stated that in the interest of public, 35 permanent vaccination centres have been set up in the district, where people can visit on any working day for vaccination.
Dr Nayan further stated that 3,36,979 people are yet to receive their second jab of Covid19 vaccine in Ludhiana Urban, 8,589 in Samrala, 97,305 in Koom Kalan, 6259 in Jagraon, 24585 in Hathur, 16685 in Machhiwara, 24278 in Malaud (Dehlon), 29030 in Pakhowal, 24278 in Mannupur (Khanna), 27671 in Payal, 7024 in Raikot, 88473 in Sahnewal, 25109 in Sidhwan Bet and 48999 persons in Sudhar area are yet to receive their second jab.
She informed that some people still have their misconception that Covid19 vaccination is not safe and that is why, they are not coming forward. “Such people should understand that if anyone wants to travel to any part of the globe, they require a Vaccine Passport Certificate, that they would get only when they are fully vaccinated,” she said while adding that even for visiting Gurudwara in Shri Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan, they need to be fully vaccinated.
The ADC (Jagraon) herself made 30-40 calls to such persons today and urged them to get fully vaccinated at the earliest. She said that the SDMs have been directed to set up call centres in their respective sub divisions through which they would call such persons and motivate them to get fully vaccinated
