Hyderabad: In preparation for administering Covid-19 vaccine, health authorities are gearing up to recruit staff.
For instance, Nagarkurnool district administration has called for applications to fill posts of seven civil assistant surgeons on contract basis for a period of six months. Candidates with MBBS qualification can apply from December 15.
A meeting of DMHOs was held on Monday with the director of public health and senior officials in connection with the procedures that will be followed during vaccination. “Though we do have a supply chain in place for vaccination, the methodology that has to be adopted for Covid-19 vaccine was explained to health officials by the state authorities,” Karimnagar district collector K Shashanka said.
The meeting with district health authorities will continue in the city on Tuesday also.
It may be mentioned here that the first cases of Covid-19 in the state were detected in Karimnagar when a group of visitors from Indonesia visited the town in March this year. The health authorities were able to track down all the contacts and provide them the necessary treatment.
