New Delhi: Amidst the shortage of anti-corona vaccine, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today informed about the ‘Jahan Vote Wahan Vaccination’ being started for vaccination in the national capital Delhi. He said that a special campaign is being started in Delhi for people above 45 years, whose name is ‘Jahan Vote Wahan Vaccination’. According to CM Kejriwal, if there is no shortage of vaccine, then under this campaign, all people above 45 years of age will be vaccinated in Delhi in 4 weeks.
The process has been started including training of booth level officers (BLO), who along with a civil defence volunteer will visit residential colonies, will book a slot for vaccination and will appeal to the citizens of Delhi to pay a visit to where they vote for Covid jabs, Kejriwal told the press.
The four-week vaccination campaign will cover as many as 70 municipal wards every week, with an objective to administer the first dose to all the citizens above 45 years and above.
However, as of now, people only aged above 45 will be covered under the scheme as Delhi government’s vaccine stock for 18-44 age group is not available. “Door-to-door awareness drive will be launched soon in Delhi. The first phase of the campaign will start in 70 wards and we have set a target to give the first dose of Covid vaccine to all citizens who are above 45 years of age. People of 18-44 age group will also be included in the scheme once the Centre provides vaccines for youth,” Kejriwal said.
Delhi has around 280 municipal wards in all 70 assembly Constituencies.
Citing that people are not visiting Delhi government’s vaccination centers, so it will be shifted to polling booths. The Delhi government is providing free vaccination at government-run schools, apart from hospitals and other healthcare centers.
