Mokokchung, July 27 (EMN): The Mokokchung district task force (DTF) organised a sensitisation programme on Covid-19 vaccination for all unvaccinated government employees under various offices at Mokokchung Town Hall, on Tuesday.
Delivering the keynote address, the deputy commissioner of Mokokchung, Limawabang Jamir, stated that the objective in organising the programme was not to force anybody to get vaccinated but to have interactions in order to sort out and clear the minds of the people against any problems or doubts.
Speaking in the meeting, Dr. Yanger, who was the resource person, gave detailed explanations on the importance and the advantage of getting vaccinated. He informed that the only solution to combat the impending third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic was to get every eligible individual to get vaccinated.
Maintaining that vaccines are proving to be efficient against hospitalisation and death, he disclosed that most Covid-19 deaths in the district were those unvaccinated.
After the programme, a total of 26 people were vaccinated under the supervision of DIO Mokokchung, Dr. Ayangla Saku and Dr. Yanger. The programme was chaired by SDO (C) Mokokchung, Sentilong Ozukum.
