The vaccine was administered to eligible beneficiaries above 18 years, including Bescom staff, security staff working at malls, construction workers, those residing in orphanages, telecom company employees, roadside vendors, apartment residents and garment factory workers.

Vaccination highlights:

• An additional 1,25,000 vaccines were supplied to all urban primary health centres as part of the vaccination mega drive.

• To administer more vaccines, 788 session sites were set up, out of which 264 were fixed government sites, 203 mobile government sites and 321 private sites.

• Health officers visited the session sites to review the process and ensure no inconvenience was caused.
