If there are more than 100 people who want to take COVID-19 vaccine, they can dial Telangana Health department’s helpline number 040-2465 1119 so that a camp can be organised to conduct the vaccination drive. Similar drives which were held last year, would be resumed.
This is one of the steps that would be taken to increase vaccination, especially booster dose. At a review meeting held with senior officials from the Health department on Thursday , the State Health minister T Harish Rao has directed them to increase rate of booster dose vaccination. Out of 2.77 crore beneficiaries, only 12.87 lakh took the booster dose
Other topics which were discussed include screening for Non Communicable Diseases (NCD), number of C Sections, seasonal diseases. Senior officials have participated in the meeting.
