PIMPRI CHINCHWAD: Repetition of beneficiary names and concerns over vaccine among grade IV staffers have emerged primary reasons for the poor response at the Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial (YCM) hospital vaccination site.
Rajendra Wabale,
YCM hospital dean, admitted that convincing the junior grade staffers was a major challenge. “On Monday, the vaccination drive was held at the
DY Patil hospital as well, where 65 beneficiaries were vaccinated. At the YCM hospital, 50 beneficiaries responded to the vaccination drive,” Wabale said.
He said the repetition of names was a technical issue, which would be sorted out over time. “And for convincing staffers, we will organise some awareness sessions for them,” Wabale said.
