Gujarat: 67 villages fully jabbed in Chhota Udepur

VADODARA: Tribal-dominated Chhota Udepur district achieved a feat of administering first dose of Covid-19 vaccine to the entire population of 67 villages in the district by Monday.
Sankheda taluka of the district had the highest vaccination as 25 villages were vaccinated followed by 15 and 13 villages of Bodeli and Naswadi taluka respectively. Nine villages of Pavi Jetpur taluka, three villages of Kawant and two villages of Chhota Udepur taluka were also vaccinated.
Officials said that people had misconceptions about the vaccination so different awareness programs were done. “Our health staff used to visit remote villages and explain people why vaccination is important so now people are voluntarily coming forward to take the vaccine,” said an official.
