SECUNDERABAD: Nearly 25,000 people are still out of vaccination ambit in the Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB). Of these, some have taken the first dose and skipped the second, while some are totally unvaccinated.
According to deputy district medical and health officer (DMHO) of Secunderabad Cantonment, Dr H Raj Kumari, “Out of 1.5 lakh people eligible for vaccination, about 25,000 are still left. Our health staff tried to convince them during door-to-door special drive, but many are still hesitant.”
The medical and health department has also arranged mobile vans to administer vaccine in slums and interior areas in the eight SCB wards, she said, adding that doses were available and those needing second shot can take it in SCB urban health centres within a couple of days.
