Most students, staff at PU get Covid-19 jabs

Vadodara: City-based Parul University (PU) on Tuesday said that 82% of its staff and 70% of its students have been vaccinated ahead of July 15 when colleges and universities will reopen for offline classes.
In a bid to create a Covid-free campus, PU promoted vaccination of not just university staff members and students but even parents and relatives of students, officials said.
“We have been regularly monitoring and updating records of registrations and vaccinations of all stakeholders and providing them guidance,” said PU president Dr Devanshu Patel, who was the first one to take the shot at the campus.
“As many as 19,452 of our students have positively responded and complied with vaccination registration procedures. From a total of 63,625 family members of our students whose records are maintained, the drive has encouraged 60,392 to register for vaccination.
