Panchkula, June 18

The city will observe a ‘Mega Tikka Day’ for all above the age of 18 on Monday, targeting to vaccinate around 20,000 people in a single day.

As per today’s vaccine bulletin, a stock of 27,360 doses is available for the 45-plus category and 9,780 doses are available for the 18-44 age group.

On Monday, the Centre’s new plan to provide free vaccination to everyone above 18 years of age will come into force, allowing local health officials to club the distribution of both categories.

The district will also receive 9,000 more doses by tomorrow. The CMO, Dr Jasjeet Kaur, said: “One of the major strategies in the prevention of the anticipated wave is timely vaccination. We have now adequate stocks of vaccines. All site in-charge are requested to mobilise beneficiaries for the vaccination drive on Monday.”

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).
