Ghaziabad has set a modest daily target of vaccinating 3,100 people and Noida (Gautam Budh Nagar) just 2,800.
NOIDA/GHAZIABAD: UP’s NCR districts will start vaccinating people in the 18-44 age bracket from Monday, 10 days after the national rollout of inoculations for this this large population group, but with a local address rider and a very conservative daily target – less than 6,000, Noida and Ghaziabad taken together.
The vaccinations have been ringfenced for only UP residents at all government session sites, which they have been asked to ascertain by the National Health Mission (UP) from address proof documents like Aadhaar card, passport, driving licence, ration card and voter card. The central government puts no such regional restriction on vaccinations and neither does the Co-WIN portal that is mandatory for registrations and lets people select slots on the basis of pin codes.
