Panchkula, March 18

As many as 1,378 eligible citizens (above 60 and those between 45 and 59 with comorbidities) were administered the Covid-19 vaccine at 22 centres on Thursday.

The coverage rate stood at 87 per cent. Besides, 60 healthcare workers and 170 frontline workers took the first and second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.

The vaccination centres included the Civil Hospital, Sub-Divisional Hospital, Kalka, all primary health centres (PHCs) and community health centres (CHCs), Paras Hospital, Ojas Hospital and Malik Hospital.

Over 38K people have been vaccinated in the district so far.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
