Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the Covid-19 vaccination drive requires to be taken door-to-door and urged districts with low vaccination officials to use innovative ways to promote the campaign. He made the comments at a video conferencing with district officials having low vaccination coverage.

He asked the officials to spread awareness about the Covid-19 vaccination and fight rumours. “So far, you have been working to take people to vaccination centres, but now it’s time to go to every house and work according to ‘Har Ghar Dastak’ campaign,” PM Modi said.

We need to make sure that the first dose is taken by unvaccinated people, but also focus on giving the second dose, Modi said. The topic in focus at the meeting was those districts that have less than 50 per cent coverage of the first dose and even low coverage of the second dose of vaccine.
