Chatra begins poster campaign on vax awareness

Chatra: The district administration has launched a poster campaign to encourage the beneficiaries, particularly those in rural areas, to take the Covid-19 vaccine.
A bunch of government teachers and health workers have been roped in for the campaign and they will visit villages, urging people not to pay heed to rumours regarding inoculation and take the shot.
Meanwhile on Sunday, state labour minister and Chatra MLA Satyanand Bhokta moved around his constituency, asking people to follow Covid-appropriate behaviour. He asked the adults to register themselves on the Co-WIN app and go to the nearest vaccination centre for taking the jab. “The vaccine is safe and no one should believe in rumours,” he said.
Meanwhile, deputy development commissioner Sunil Kumar Singh visited the health centres in Simaria and Tandwa blocks to inspect the oxygen rooms set up there. The oxygen room comprises concentrators, oximeters and cylinders. He asked doctors to provide immediate facility to those coming here with an oxygen level below the normal range. Singh also visited the vaccination centres in both the blocks.
