Itanagar, Jul 16 (UNI) Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (Retd) BD Mishra on Friday received the second dose of Covid-19 vaccine here and appealed to all eligible people to come forward and get themselves inoculated at the earliest.
"It is essential that all citizens take two doses of Covid protective vaccination, i.e the initial dose and the booster dose without any reservations and at the earliest. There should be no lack of care in the vaccination process at any cost," Mishra said after taking the second dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
To defeat the Coronavirus pandemic and to keep safe, Covid-19 protective vaccination is the best solution, he added.
The Governor further said despite his octogenarian age, there has been no adverse effect on him after getting his Covishield vaccination doses.
He reiterated his appeal to the people that even after vaccination, everyone must take anti-Covid-19 precautions.
People must maintain Covid-19 protocols like wearing facemask, washing hands frequently, and following social distancing by practising 'Do Gaj Ki Doori (a distance of two yards), Mishra said.
The Governor has also conveyed his deep gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and health workers for carrying out the Covid vaccination throughout the state against all odds, braving the inclement weather and scaling mountain heights of 14,000 feet and above.
He appreciated the efforts of the State Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Pema Khandu in organising the anti-Covid-19 treatment infrastructure and other medical facilities for the health benefit of the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
