Solan, January 18

As many as 102 registered health workers (around 72 per cent) turned up to get the Covid-19 vaccine at two centres in Sirmaur district on the second day of the vaccination drive today.

Deputy Commissioner, Sirmaur, RK Pruthi said that only 46 of 74 registered workers turned up at the Civil Hospital, Sarahan, while 56 of 63 registered health staffers were vaccinated at the public health centre at Rampur Bharapur. A total of 102 of 137 registered health staffers were vaccinated.

In the first phase of the vaccination drive conducted on January 16, around 50 per cent health workers had come forward for vaccination. As many as 3,100 health staffers are to be vaccinated in the district in the first phase.

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).
