New Delhi, May 08, 2021 :

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday visited a vaccination centre at Chirag Delhi where the youth thanked him for the vaccine arrangement. He said that to achieve the target of vaccinating the entire Delhi in three months, we have to administer three lakh vaccines daily.

CM Kejriwal said that the Delhi government is going to increase the vaccination centres from 100 to 300 to achieve the capacity of applying three lakh vaccines daily. He said that if the entire Delhi has to be vaccinated in three months, we need a monthly dose of 80 to 85 lakh vaccines. Shri Kejriwal said that the Central government has always extended its help and expressed hope that it will do the same in this case too.

Kejriwal said, “We want all of Delhi to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Vaccination is a defence mechanism that can save lives. Right now, the second wave is in operation and it is being said that the possibility of a Third Wave looms large. Thus, it is our aim that the entire Delhi be vaccinated within 3 months.”

He further said, “As I had mentioned earlier, there are 1.5 crore people in Delhi above the age of 18. These 1.5 crore people need 3 crore doses. As of now, we have received 40 lakh vaccines from the Centre; so we need an additional 2 crore 60 lakh vaccines. If we are to complete the vaccine drive in the next 3 months, we need 80-85 lakh doses per month, which means that we will have to administer 3 lakh vaccines per day.”

Kejriwal said, “Right now, arrangements have been made in 100 schools and 1 lakh vaccines are being administered daily. In the next few days, we are going to increase it to 300 schools and will work on our capacity to administer 3 lakh doses per day.

Today we have come to evaluate the situation. We also talked to all those who were being vaccinated and I’m happy people appreciate the arrangement. All our DMs, officers, doctors are working very hard. If people are vaccinated rapidly, their problems will diminish rapidly.”

He added, “The Central Government is offering full assistance. Whenever we needed facilities, we asked the Central Government for aid and the Central Government did their best to provide help on their part. Hopefully, the Central Government will assist in this too .”

On the question of the One vaccine Programme, CM Arvind Kejriwal said, “One vaccine Programme is a firm possibility in the country.”
