New rule by Central govt. will increase immunisation numbers, say doctors
A total of 4,936 healthcare workers were vaccinated in the national capital on Tuesday — the highest till now, and there were 16 ‘minor’ Adverse Event Following Immunisation, said the Delhi government spokesperson.
This is 48.75% of the target of 10,125 healthcare workers who were to be immunised on Tuesday. Of the 16 AEFI, 15 were people who were vaccinated with Covishield and one with Covaxin.
