Inspired by door-to-door vaccination drives, three women from a city-based NGO, have initiated a campaign to inoculate slum dwellers in the 18-44 years age group. To begin with, they have already given the jab to 150 people from Govandi slums and plan to vaccinate another 1,200 people from the Shivaji Nagar slums this weekend. They have set a target of 13 slums in the city.
CEO of Surana Group of Hospitals, Dr Prince Surana, who provided the vaccines at a discounted rate to the NGO, said, “The women running the NGO Enrich Lives Foundation approached us. We are happy to collaborate with them by providing vaccines and our services as well.” He added, “If we need to achieve herd immunity in Mumbai, everyone should get vaccinated. The earlier, the better.”
