Hyderabad: A special drive to administer the second dose of Covid-19 vaccine among eligible individuals in Hyderabad will be launched on Monday by Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) in collaboration with State health authorities.

The vaccine will be administered in all Basti Dawakhanas, existing vaccination centres and other state-run urban primary health centres. A total of 4,846 residential localities will be covered under the drive.

As part of the exercise, a door-to-door survey will be taken up by GHMC officials to check for eligible persons. In case all the eligible people in a house are vaccinated, a sticker will be pasted on their doors or entrance.

GHMC in a press release appealed to people to utilise the opportunity. “The health department has warned of a third wave. To avoid such surge in Covid cases in the near future, the State government is organising special vaccination drive to administer the second Covid dose,” GHMC said.

Beneficiaries can walk-in and register themselves at the venue. Similar drives were held in GHMC limits earlier and spot registration helped people who were not aware of the procedures to get themselves registered using the CoWIN app. Civic body officials have also decided to involve elected representatives and resident welfare associations to execute the drive successfully.
