How will you benefit from investing early in mutual funds?

Non-governmental organisations, civil society groups and development partners have had a meeting with the Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Tuesday to discuss ways to take the Covid vaccination campaign across the length and breadth of the country.

The government launched a month-long “Har Ghar Dastak” campaign recently for house-to-house Covid-19 vaccination of those who are yet to take a dose and those whose second dose is still due.

“Interacted with NGOs & CSOs of the country. Discussed how an enhanced partnership between Govt & these organisations will strengthen our #HarGharDastak vaccination campaign. Our Govt seeks support of the organisations to take our campaign to every nook and corner of the country,” Mandaviya tweeted after the meeting.

12 crore beneficiaries due for second dose

Recently, he stated that over 12 crore beneficiaries are due for their second dose of Covid-19 vaccine and had asked health ministers of the state to ensure that the adult population is covered with the first dose during the campaign, while those who are due for the second dose are also motivated to take it.

Officials said that almost 80% of the eligible population in India has been vaccinated against Covid-19 with the first dose, while around 39% have been fully vaccinated till date.
