Posted on 2nd Jun 2022 by rohit kumar

At present, there is a big relief in the country on the front of the Corona epidemic. The spread of the coronavirus is under control, deaths are decreasing and life is slowly getting back on track. Keeping in mind that the situation should improve rapidly and the epidemic does not return, the government started a special campaign on Wednesday to speed up vaccination. In the second phase of the 'Har Ghar Dastak 2.0' campaign, special attention will be given to vaccination in old age homes, schools, colleges, and jails. The experiences of the first phase of the special immunization campaign launched in November last year are being implemented in the second phase, which will run from June 1 to July 31.

 

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Health, it has been said that all the states and union territories have been advised to take it in mission mode. Along with this, an intensive campaign has been asked to provide vaccine protection cover to all eligible people against the coronavirus. The main objective of the 'Har Ghar Dastak 2.0' campaign is to go from door to door and apply first, second and vigilance doses to all the eligible people. In this, special emphasis will be given to speed up the vaccination of the 12-14 years age group and vigilance dose to people above 60 years of age.

 

According to the Health Ministry, special attention will be given to places like old age homes, schools, colleges, jails, and brick kilns. Efforts are also being made that no child in the age group of 12-18 years should be deprived of vaccination, irrespective of whether he goes to school or not.

 

Advice to states to increase surveillance

 

The ministry has advised all the states to increase surveillance. He has been asked to prepare a plan for vaccination at the district, block, and village levels. He has also been asked to keep reviewing the status of vigilance doses being administered to people in the age group of 18-59 years in private hospitals.

 

96.3 percent of people over the age of 15 received the first dose

 

According to the ministry, a total of 193.57 crore doses of the anti-coronavirus vaccine have been administered across the country so far. 96.3 percent of people above 15 years of age have been given the first dose, while 86.3 percent of people in this age group have been fully vaccinated.

 

This special campaign is inspired by Mission Indradhanush against the pandemic

 

Mission Indradhanush got the inspiration for running a special campaign against the coronavirus, in which vaccines are given to newborns and mothers to protect them from various diseases. Along with this, publicity is also done, as well as door-to-door campaigns are conducted to reach as many people as possible.

India's vaccination campaign against the corona epidemic has been appreciated by the United Nations and WHO the world. The country's leadership has been praised for providing vaccine protection to such a large population in a short time. India not only provided vaccine protection to its people but also provided vaccines to other countries on a large scale.
