It is the responsibility of each and every health worker, the public representatives and the local officials in the village to provide proper information about vaccination and remove all the myths and doubts about vaccination. All the people in the villages must come forward voluntarily and cooperate with the health officials and take the vaccination dose, so that they can stay safe and at the same time help others to stay safe," said the district Collector while highlighting the importance of vaccination. The additional Collectors, district senior officials from various departments also began monitoring the vaccination process and visited various villages and hamlets under their jurisdiction and ensured the vaccination drive was organised in a smooth manner.
