Hyderabad: It is a big day, of historical importance, for healthcare works in Telangana as they received the first jab of the COVID-19 vaccine today as a part of massive inoculation drive across Telangana.
After Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the nation-wide vaccination drive at 10:30 am on Saturday, Telangana gave its first vaccine to S Krishnamma, a sanitation worker at the state-run Gandhi Hospital. A COVID-19 recovered patient herself, she recounted horrifying moments of being isolated at home in July and not being able to cater to her family, who tested positive for the deadly virus too.
