MANY SENIORS COULDN’T MAKE IT TO VAX CENTRES

-

LUCKNOW : Many senior citizens, who couldn’t make it to the vaccinatio­n centres, were worried over how they would get their vaccine shots.

Some of these people were bedridden while many had to take care of their partners and could not come for vaccinatio­n. Officials said at present the vaccinatio­n was being carried out at designated hospitals (government and private) and there was no provision for home visits.

“If there are any guidelines for such people, we will follow. Currently, the vaccinatio­n is being carried out at identified facilities across where beneficiar­ies have to reach with related documents. They can get wheelchair­s to reach the booth from the main gate,” said Dr MK Singh, in-charge of vaccinatio­n in Luck- now.
