NAGPUR: Despite the third dose being allowed to all above 60 people irrespective of their co-morbid status, not many have turned up to take vaccines in the last 11 days. Doctors said the neglect and poor response towards vaccination can be dangerous.
As per the Cowin dashboard, 1,01,019 have taken the precautionary dose in Nagpur district till date. These include health workers, front line workers and 60+ senior citizens. In the last 12 days, since the precautionary dose was allowed for all 60+ people, only 6,146 people have taken the third dose. At least 10 times the people than this number have already completed the 9-month period after getting the second dose and are now eligible for the third. But they are not finding time to visit the vaccination centre and get the precautionary jab.
