NEW DELHI/LONDON: Union Health minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Tuesday suggested that stickers for houses to notify completion of both doses of COVID-19 vaccines should be given to fully vaccinated families to encourage uptake of the vaccine among the population.
The minister made the suggestion during a meeting on Tuesday with non-government organisations, civil society outfits and development partners to take the ‘Har Ghar Dastak’ Covid vaccination campaign across the length and breadth of the country, according to a Union health ministry statement.
Mandaviya noted that ‘JanBhagidari’ (people’s participation) is essential for such a mammoth exercise like India’s vaccination programme.
“India stood tall in COVID19 crisis because of the initiative of non-government organisations and civil society organisations which supplemented the efforts of the government to ensure that nobody went to sleep on an empty stomach during the Covid lockdown,” he stated. The minister also noted their contribution in ensuring that 80 per cent of the population and 40 per cent of the population received their first and second dose of the vaccine respectively, according to the statement.
