HYDERABAD: After a tepid response to the vaccination drive of 12-14-year-old children for the second day in a row, on Thursday, the state health authorities have decided to take the drive to schools.

“We will be going to schools and vaccinating kids in the presence of their parents, starting Monday, since the children are at schools. We are aiming at finishing vaccinating all the kids in this age group in the next two to three weeks, before the summer vacations begin. We will take up a massive drive,” said Dr G Srinivasa Rao, director, public health, Telangana.
