The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government has started a new vaccination drive called "vaccination on wheels" to inoculate labourers against the Coronavirus in the national Capital. The city Government has converted a bus into a vaccination centre.
People coming to the ‘vaccination on wheels’ van are registered on the spot and are vaccinated inside the van by a hospital team and officials of the district administration.
The step has been taken because a large number of labours are not vaccinated in the national Capital due to lack of information about registration or due to work. In order to reach them, the New Delhi district administration has initiated the ‘vaccination on wheels’ drive.
With the help of MLA from Rajinder Nagar, Raghav Chadha, the district administration is reaching different construction sites and mandis and vaccinating the people working there.
As per Government data, around 1.5 lakh people are being vaccinated everyday in Delhi. A whopping 1,40,983 people have got the first dose so far, while only 40,54,753 people have been able to take the second dose
