LUDHIANA: With Covid-19 cases witnessing a steep fall in the past two months, laxity has crept into minds of people for whom the pandemic is almost over. But amid the threat of a new Covid variant Omicron-XE, a worrying trend has been witnessed in Ludhiana according to which not many people are going for the precaution dose of vaccine despite being eligible for it.
District immunisation officer (DIO) Dr Manisha said around 70,000 eligible persons are yet to get the precaution dose.
