Policy of Vaccination : A tool to Counter COVID-19 in J&K UT
The role of Vaccination in Jammu & Kashmir State came in force in early November 2020 when the Govt has introduced first time the vaccine COVISHIELD against Covid 19 in Jammu and Kashmir State. The Vaccine was been given to population category wise . First category sorted was Frontline workers, PRI's. This runned till few months and later on the guidelines came in February 2021 for the second category of people age of above 45 with comorbidities and later on was introduced for all population above 45 yrs ago. In this particular division of Jammu, Distt poonch got 86% of Vaccinated people with ist dose. The second dose is in force till it's clearance & dose administration to population till 20th June, 2021.
On 21 June 2021 as per guidelines by State Govt all population from 18-44 will get their jabs in their concerned Health care stations too. Many people are reluctant to this vaccine but the Second wave pushed the minds of people in agreeness . Moreover crisis of covid is now halfned presently. Lowering gaurd and not to be vaccinated is a call to infectivity. To keep the Third wave at bay ,the Vaccination is only a solution. Presently between 80-86% of population in Distt. Poonch is vaccinated.
