“After receiving the first dose, the person will receive a message on his/her mobile phone informing the date of the second dose. After the completion of the second dose, the person will receive a certificate that he/she was undergone vaccination,” he said. The Minister added that ICU beds are being set up in hospitals across the State to provide immediate treatment in case anyone develops health issues after vaccination.

He said the government had decided to use advanced syringes to administer the vaccines. “The syringes will be disposed in a scientific manner once the vaccine is administered. A call centre will be set up at the State level to provide suggestions and advice in case of any side effects during the vaccination programme,” he said. He appealed to the public representatives, doctors, paramedical staff, officials and employees to make the programme a great success.
