TURA, Sep 17: South West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner, Ramakrishna Chitturi, has urged villagers from the district to take the COVID-19 vaccine stating that if the district achieves 100 per cent vaccination there would be no more lockdowns and all markets would be allowed to open.
The Deputy Commissioner and the officials of Betasing Block War Room came together with Nokmas, VEC secretaries, SHGs and other village organisations of villages known for vaccine hesitancy under Betasing C&RD Block to make them aware about the importance of vaccination against COVID-19 and also address the reasons for their hesitancy to receive the vaccine.
The meeting was the initiative of Betasing Block War Room, comprising of BDO W.R.G. Momin, Medical officers, Sector Magistrates and others, to get to the root cause of hesitancy on the part of certain villagers which is hindering the achievement of full vaccination coverage of eligible beneficiaries.
