The Uttar Pradesh government has launched preparations for COVID-19 vaccination and the required logistics would be in place in advance, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said here on Tuesday.
During a virtual interaction between the prime minister and the chief ministers over COVID-19 vaccination in the near future, Yogi Adityanath informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the UP government had issued necessary directions to departments concerned to be prepared for a massive vaccination drive.
“The whole exercise should be done in an organised and time bound manner with inter-departmental coordination and all logistics should be in place in time,” the chief minister said.
The UP chief minister said his government was well aware that adequate numbers of vaccinators would be needed in view of the large population of the state.
He said the Health department was asked to make arrangements for the training of the vaccinators.
It may be recalled that the chief minister had issued directions to ensure cold-chain arrangements in all districts by December 15 next in order to enhance the efficacy of the vaccine.
Yogi, during the virtual conference, reposed faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the skilful handling of the COVID-19 crisis in the country.
