2 sites at GMCH-32 for vaccination drive

Chandigarh, January 14

The Government Medical College Hospital, Sector 32, (GMCH-32) has geared up for the vaccination drive, which will begin on January 16.

The hospital has earmarked two sites for Covid-19 vaccination drive where 200 persons can be vaccinated each day.

According to a press release, “An observation area has been set up at each of the two sites. Each beneficiary will be observed for 30 minutes after vaccination for any side effects.”

On the efficacy and safety of the vaccine, a senior doctor said he would want to receive the vaccine on the first day itself.

Dr Jasbinder Kaur, Director Principal, GMCH-32, said, “A committee of senior level doctors headed by Prof Sanjay D’Cruz has been constituted to coordinate response to any reported adverse events. As many beneficiaries will receive vaccine naturally occurring health events will surface. Most of these events will not be related to the vaccine and are likely to be symptoms of commonly occurring morbidities.” — TNS
