SAS Nagar, April 23 , 2021 In an otherwise somber environment clouded by COVID-19 spike, Friday morning was relatively pleasant and offered hope to the residents of SAS Nagar with the revelation that the district has been successful in achieving 100% COVID vaccination of all the 45 plus residents of Bhadargarh village falling in Derabassi subdivision; a one of its kind feat in the country!
Sharing the information, Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan informed that administration has been trying to facilitate public to the best possible extent for vaccination. “We are vaccinating people through as many as 58 government and 40 private health institutions across the district. Besides, daily special outreach camps are being organized to reach various far flung pockets of the district.” Special vaccination teams are also being sent to desiring Resident Welfare Associations, Market Associations and industrial units. “As of now vaccination is apparently the most effective means to safeguard against COVID-19 or at least reduce the impact of the virus if it infects the vaccinated person; so we are trying our best to vaccinate maximum people,” said Dayalan.
