Covishield is not there, how to take Vigilance dosage:
Due to the apprehension of Corona, people are coming again to get the vigilance dose, but there is a shortage of vaccine in the district. Not a single dose of Covishield is here. Due to which people are returning from vaccination centers.
Last days, the district got 840 doses from Arunachal Pradesh, but it got over in two days. Now the maximum crowd is at Gandhi Hospital and Municipal Corporation Center. Everyday people are being sent back here.
Let me tell you, there is a target of administering vigilance dose to 12 lakh 81 people in the district, but so far only 4 lakh 25 thousand have been vaccinated. 8.5 lakh are yet to be vaccinated in the district. ADIO Yagyadev Thapliyal told that the demand has been sent, it is expected that the vaccine will be available soon.
