NOIDA: The Gautam Budh Nagar district administration has outlined a plan to inoculate as many as 12,600 health care personnel in the next three sessions till January 29.
District magistrate Suhas LY said that 4,200 persons will be vaccinated on January 22. “The same number of persons will be inoculated each on January 28 and 29. For this purpose, we have identified 13 government and private hospitals in the district. There will be a total of 42 vaccination booths in these hospitals,” he said.
Suhas further said that the health department could not ensure 100% participation of health workers on January 16, the first day of vaccination drive, due to some glitches in vaccination portal. “To ensure full attendance of corona warriors on the coming days of vaccination, we have decided to intimate them on their mobile phone numbers, two days before their mandated dates of vaccination,” he said.
On January 16, 393 health care workers were vaccinated against the target of 600 personnel.
