To make vaccination accessible to the elderly (above 60) with no vaccination or first dose of vaccination and those who are below 60 years with disability, the Centre on Friday issued guidelines to bring vaccination services closer to the community and nearer to their homes.
As per the proposed guidelines for “Near to Home Covid Vaccination Centres” (NHCVC), sessions can be conducted in non-health facility-based settings and nearer to home.
The list of elderly and differently-abled citizens will have to be compiled, based on which vaccination sessions can be organised. It is to be noted that the vaccination for all other age groups will continue at the existing Covid vaccination centre (CVCs).
