Over 76 lakh doses of Covid-19 vaccines (including first and second dose) had been administered across Haryana till Monday, data further said.
90% Haryana police personnel have got first dose
At least 65 per cent of Haryana police personnel have received both the doses of Covid-19 vaccine, while 90 per cent of the force have received at least the first dose till date, data released by the state said.
As frontline workers, state police personnel started getting the Covid-19 vaccination jabs from February 4. DGP Manoj Yadava was the first to volunteer and get the vaccine shot to encourage the personnel in the state police force to shed hesitancy and get inoculated.
“So far, 53924 officers and jawans have got the first Covid-19 vaccine, while more than 38988 have got both the doses”, DGP Yadava said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
He added, “The number of policemen who have received both doses of vaccine is around 65 per cent. A gap of 8-12 weeks is mandatory between two jabs as per the guidelines of the Union Ministry of Health. These personnel are now waiting before they get their second shots. A few police personnel have been excluded from the vaccination for medical reasons. The way these ‘karmaveers’ stood in solidarity in protecting the citizens against Covid-19 is both amazing and heartwarming. At present, the number of police personnel working in Haryana is close to 60,000 — including Home Guards and Special Police Officers,” DGP Yadava said.
He added, “The police personnel who were infected have also re-joined their duty after recovering from the infection. Out of 6547 personnel, who tested positive, 6480 have recovered and rejoined duties while 67 are still infected. So far, a total of 45 personnel, including three Special Police Officers, have succumbed to the virus. Despite all this, our men and women in khaki are working very hard and performing their duty”.
