A mega drive will also be organised on January 7, with a focus on Class 10 students who will be appearing for the board exam this year, additional chief secretary (Health) Manoj Aggarwal said.

The special campaign will be undertaken from January 3 to 9 at 3,500 centres prepared for the purpose from 9 am to 6 pm, Aggarwal told reporters.

મુખ્યમંત્રીશ્રી ભૂપેન્દ્ર પટેલે રાજ્યમાં કોરોનાની પ્રવર્તમાન સ્થિતીની સર્વગ્રાહી સમીક્ષા ઉચ્ચસ્તરીય બેઠક યોજીને કરી હતી. સમગ્ર રાજ્યમાં ટેસ્ટિંગ અને કોન્ટેકટ ટ્રેસિંગની કામગીરી સઘન બનાવવાની સાથે ધનવંતરી રથ અને સંજીવની રથની સંખ્યા વધારવાનો પણ આ બેઠકમાં નિર્ણય લેવામાં આવ્યો હતો. pic.twitter.com/n2jubYt68T

Efforts will be made to ensure that no child is left behind under the mega drive, he said, after reviewing the preparations for the campaign by video-conferencing with municipal commissioners and district collectors.

The aim is to cover around 36 lakh children between 15 and 18 years of age. The drive will also cover schools, it is, out-of-school children, institutions for the disabled and mentally-ill children and orphanages, the official said.

મુખ્યમંત્રીશ્રી ભૂપેન્દ્ર પટેલે અમદાવાદના નિકોલ ખાતે આધુનિક સુવિધાઓથી સજ્જ 225 બેડની કોઠીયા મલ્ટી-સ્પેશિયાલીટી હોસ્પિટલ અને રિસર્ચ સેન્ટરનું લોકાર્પણ કર્યું હતું. આ અવસરે મુખ્યમંત્રીશ્રીએ હોસ્પિટલના પ્રાંગણમાં પૂર્વ મુખ્યમંત્રીશ્રી કેશુભાઇ પટેલની પ્રતિમાનું અનાવરણ પણ કર્યું હતું. pic.twitter.com/FemENuxsHN

As per the Centre’s guidelines, the beneficiaries in this age group will only be administered Covaxin, and the government has adequate quantity of the vaccine available with it, he said.

Registration for vaccination started on January 1, with the option of on-site registration, in which a beneficiary can either provide details of his Aadhaar card, vehicle licence, or even a mobile phone number, which could either be his own or that of his parents, friends, school teacher or principal, Aggarwal said.

A special mega campaign will also be conducted across the state on January 7, during which focus will be on children studying in Class 10, so that they don’t face any problem during their board examination, he said.

The health department also has a database of 13-14 lakh comorbid adults above 60 years, frontline workers and healthcare workers for the booster dose starting January 10, for which a gap of 39 weeks is required after the second dose, the official added.
