Wokha, August 6 (MExN): Lotha Eloe Hoho (LEH) organized an awareness campaign on COVID-19 vaccination for Bhandari circle at Bhandari Town on August 5.
The campaign speaker, T Chumdemo Kikon, Vaccine and Cold Chain Manager, UNDP, CMO Office Wokha spoke on efficacy and safety of Covid-19 vaccination. A DIPR report stated that Kikon emphasized on the need of the public to educate oneself with the right information rather than being misled by rumors generated from wrong sources as it creates negativity, fear and hesitancy in the mind of the people.
He also assured that just like any other vaccines such as measles, chickenpox or rubella vaccines, all required steps of clinical trials and tests have been completed during the process of development of any vaccine for human health safety.
ADC Bhandari, Tiameren Chang, NCS observed that being a vast inter-state bordering area, the sub-division of Bhandari needs extra effort to render the desired health services to the public at such a challenging time. Chang called on the frontline workers, ASHA and health workers to encourage the public at the grassroots level through correct information, sensitization and awareness to dispel the fear of testing and vaccination for COVID-19, in order to secure health safety for all.
Earlier, LEH, Vice President, Orenponi Jami chaired the programme. LEH, President, Zuchobeni Ezung said that the main objective for the campaign is to spread awareness regarding the efficacy and importance of the COVID-19 vaccine.
