Pune: Keeping pace with the Centre’s target to administer 100 crore vaccine doses till Dussehra on October 15, the Maharashtra government will be holding a mega-vaccination drive from October 8 to October 14. The aim is to vaccinate 15 lakh persons daily during this period. This was disclosed to newspersons here on Thursday by Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope. 

The Health Minister while giving details of the special vaccination drive – ‘Mission Kavach Kundal’ (protective body armour), said that so far, 65% of the State’s eligible vaccine population (about 9 crore) had received the first dose while 30% had taken both doses. 

Tope further remarked, “We plan to vaccinate 15 lakh persons every day in this drive. We have a sufficient vaccine stock of one crore doses to achieve this… while speaking to Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, the Minister said that it was his expectation that Maharashtra must play a major role in achieving the 100 crore-vaccination target.” 

The Health Minister stated that of the roughly 9.15 crore people eligible to be vaccinated in the State, 6 crore had already been administered the first dose while 2.5 crore persons had taken both doses.  

“As a result, Maharashtra today has opened up almost every establishment including religious places. Given the scale of our vaccination, even if someone does get infected in the future, the severity will be less, and there will not be a panic demand for ICU beds or oxygen requirements. The fatalities, too, will be controlled as a result,” said Tope. He added that there were still some sections of society which demanded the involvement of community and religious leaders in order to expedite the pace of vaccination. 

Giving further details of the ‘Mission Kavach Kundal’, the Health Minister added that he (Tope) had a meeting with all district collectors and divisional commissioners and stressed on the pressing need to work at an increased pace to complete as many vaccinations as possible. 

Tope further said, “We need to get into a ‘mission mode’ from tomorrow. There is a need on part of the local administration to mobilize the people and get them to vaccination centers. The watchword henceforth must be ‘information, education, communication.” He pointed out that the Pune and the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporations have successfully undertaken a non-stop 75- hour vaccination drive recently. 

Maharashtra currently has 33,000 active cases, with the State reporting average daily surges of 2,500-3,000 new cases. While the recoveries have generally been outpacing new cases, the decline in cases has nonetheless proceeded in an incremental fashion rather than big dips on a daily basis.
