CHANDIGARH: For smooth roll out of
Covid vaccination drive, the
Centre has selected
Punjab for conducting a
dry run on December 28 and 29. The drive will be carried out at five locations each in Ludhiana and Nawanshahr districts.
Sharing the details, Punjab health minister Balbir Singh Sidhu said the exercise is aimed at testing the mechanisms for the vaccination drive. It will provide insights on any gaps or bottlenecks so that those could be addressed before the commencement of the Covid-19 drive, he said.
The minister said that immunisation partners UNDP and the WHO at state level would support this activity.
