A city-based non-profit has roped in school children as ambassadors to promote vaccination in slum populations that are hesitant to take the shots. As part of its special drive, Dr Gautam Bhansali’s Golden Hour Foundation took the help of students from Manekji Gajdhar High School at Khar to reach out to unvaccinated residents from slum pockets on Sunday.

“Children have a lasting impact on adults. They are the best ambassadors. We, therefore, took the help of school kids to spread awareness about the free vaccination drive we are holding and motivate them to take the jab,” said Dr Gautam Bhansali, who is also the chief coordinator of all private hospitals for vaccination and Covid-19.
