Over 200 staffers deployed

The health department has deployed a team of over 200 officials, including doctors, paramedical staff and Ashas (accredited social health activists) to ensure smooth vaccination at the three mega centres.

“Three doctors, including the nodal officer, will take care of the entire vaccination exercise. Besides, there will be four doctors each at all the three mega vaccination centres and over 70 vaccinators. This is double the requirement. Around 40 data entry personnel will upload the data on the portal. We have also deployed ambulances at all the vaccination centres in case of any emergency situation,” he added.
