The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in association with Sidana Institutes, organised a vaccination camp for beneficiaries in the 18-44 age group years with comorbidities here on Monday.

Nearly 100 people were vaccinated during the camp organised on the campus of the institute on the Ramtirath road. The aim was to encourage people in rural areas to get vaccinated. Residents were made aware of the rapid spread of the infection and what safety measures were needed to be taken by them.

Rajiv Sajdeh, Chairman, CII, said a very encouraging response was received. “The initiative was planned keeping in mind the increasing number of Covid-19 cases and to augment the state government’s efforts to reach out to rural areas,” he said.

During the vaccination camp, the registration was done on the spot. The beneficiaries were asked to show a copy of the identity proof (either the Aadhaar card or any other identity card), said Karan Verma, Vice-Chairman,CII, Amritsar.
