Civic officials say the home-vaccination drive had a slow start, but requests started pouring in when others saw their neighbours getting inoculated against COVID

Within a month, a total of 2,749 bedridden beneficiaries have been inoculated under a special home-vaccination drive launched for them. Of these recipients, 2,673 have got their first shot and 76 both the doses. The gap between two doses of Covaxin is 28 days.
The drive did not receive as much response when it was launched on August 2. However, over time, the civic body was flooded with requests, as several people were encouraged after seeing their neighbours get vaccinated at home, ward health officials said.
