Daltonganj, Dec 4: Two paralytics, Rajiv Yadav and Raghu Yadav, were vaccinated at the village Samgarh under the Tarhassi block in Palamu on Saturday. Both of them are over 70 years of age, informed the data manager at Tarhassi, Prem Kumar.
The civil surgeon Palamu, Dr Anil Kumar, has asked the eligibles of the district to take a lesson from the aged paralytics who took the vaccine while others invent numerous excuses for not taking the jab.
“It is still not very late for those eligibles that have so far not taken the jab. They should rush to the nearest vaccination site and get themselves vaccinated,” he said.
Mahender Kumar, a civil society activist, suggested that if covid positive instances are discovered in any district, they should be widely publicised because this will instill a fear among vaccination skeptics who not only refuse to take the vaccine but also discourage others from doing so, to take the jab as soon as possible.
An eligible person, when asked why he is so avoiding the vaccine said that the Coronavirus did not affect the villages the way it affected people in the town and cities during the first and second wave. As he lives in the village, he doesn’t feel the need to take the vaccine.
He further said if the state government is really concerned about the vaccination then it should make it mandatory for every eligible visitor who comes to the ‘Aapke Adhikar, Aapki Sarkar, Aapke Dwar’ Campaign to show a document of his/her about being vaccinated.
