Under the COVID Vaccination Amrit Mahotsava, all States and UTs had been urged to run the marketing campaign as a ‘Jan Abhiyan’ with huge mass mobilisation, by means of a camp strategy. Multiple particular vaccination camps within the routes of Char Dham Yatra (Uttarakhand), Amarnath Yatra (Jammu & Kashmir), Kanwar Yatra (all States/UTs of North-India) in addition to main melas and congregations had been organised. Further, Special Vaccination Camps had been organised at workplace complexes, industrial institutions, railway stations, inter-state bus stations, in faculties and schools. A complete of 13,01,778 such camps had been organised at no cost COVID-19 vaccination.
At the beginning of COVID Vaccination Amrit Mahotsava on July 15, 2022, solely 8 per cent of the eligible inhabitants aged 18 years and above had obtained the precaution dose. With the intervention of 75 days long free vaccination marketing campaign, 27 per cent of the eligible inhabitants have now obtained their precaution dose.
Administration of precaution dose is pivotal to confer full/prolonged safety to beneficiaries in opposition to COVID-19. It helps to scale back the severity of the COVID-19 illness, danger of hospitalisation and thereby reduces mortality.
