Barring Mandya taluk, all other taluks in the district have been given a target to vaccinate 20,000 persons while a 30,000 target has been set for Mandya taluk.
At a meeting ahead of the mega vaccination drive, in Mandya on Tuesday, Deputy Commissioner S. Aswathi told the health officials in every taluk to make preparations for the drive and ensure the target was achieved.
She told the taluk authorities to get ready with an action plan, spread awareness about the drive, especially in rural areas, and ensure that the drive starts at 7 a.m. “I hope the district achieves the target like it did in the previous vaccine utsav.”
