Talking to TOI, Jhansi DM Andra Vamsi said, “It is a great achievement that not a single dose of vaccine received by the gram panchayat remained unutilized. In the initial period, there were many misconceptions, hesitations and fears among the villagers regarding vaccination.
“The Village Monitoring Committee constituted by the district administration conducted programs to allay the fear of the villagers by spreading public awareness. We had also involved FPOs, Self Help Groups and other voluntary organizations to carry out these awareness programmes.
Vamsi thanked the monitoring committee, ASHA, ANM and Anganwadi workers, other voluntary organizations and villagers who showed their courage and willingness to vaccinate.
