Deputy Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori on Monday asked all government departments to ensure vaccination of their officers/officials aged 45 and above at the earliest so that the target of vaccinating everybody falling in this age group could be achieved within the stipulated time period.
Chairing a review meeting of vaccination in government departments, the Deputy Commissioner said as there was a fresh surge in Covid cases, it was necessary to vaccinate most vulnerable group — people above 45 years of age.
