NOIDA / GHAZIABAD: Following the instructions of the central government, Uttar Pradesh has decided to conduct a test of the Covid-19 vaccination campaign at six centers in Lucknow today (Saturday).
Meanwhile, the state government has ordered the administrations of Noida and Ghaziabad to hold mock vaccination process in their respective districts on January 5.
At Gautam Budh Nagar, three centers in urban areas and three in rural regions have been designated for the process. Bisrakh CHC and Child PGI in sector 30 have been tentatively selected.
Overall, a total of 75 cabins have been completed instead of the 73 previously decided. Likewise, 14 cold chains have been equipped with CCTV cameras to store the vaccines when they arrive in the district.
According to the district health department, during the drill, officials will evaluate preparations for the vaccination campaign. While teams comprising vaccinators, mobilizers and supervisors will be asked to arrive at the sites on the designated day, senior officials will conduct rounds and conduct inspections.
“All preparations have been made in GB Nagar, where 21,543 healthcare workers (HCs) will be vaccinated in the first phase of the Covid-19 inoculation process,” said Dr. Deepak Ohri, GB Nagar Medical Director.
Also in Ghaziabad, three sites will be selected in urban and rural areas. In rural areas, the centers are likely to be in Muradnagar and Modinagar, while in urban areas two government hospitals (MMG District Hospital and District Combined Hospital) and a center in Nehru Nagar could be chosen for the test. A senior health official said the drill will include a verification of the process of transferring vaccines from a cold chain to the session site.
