KOLKATA: As the inoculation drive for the 12-14 year age group was launched in Bengal on Monday, much enthusiasm was noticed at the school camps organized by the KMC, much more than that at the civic vaccination centres in the city.
KMC vaccinators had a busy day at Chetla Girls’ High School, inoculating more than 150 students. A long queue built up from the morning at the temporary vaccination camp at the school after mayor Firhad Hakim inaugurated it at 10.30am. “The response from students at Chetla Girls’ High School and a couple of other schools was encouraging. By 12.30pm, the number of recipients crossed the 100 mark,” said a KMC health department official posted at the headquarters.
