Now get vaccine shot in your car as 2 Drive-Through Vaccination Centres starts in Mohali
Mohali, May 12, 2021:
In a bid to facilitate maximum COVID 19 vaccination, District Administration has set up two Drive-Through Vaccination Centres.
Sharing details, Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan said that as of now the only safeguard against the deadly coronavirus is vaccination. We are trying our best to reach out to public for vaccination; the vaccination at all district and sub-divisional hospitals has been supplemented by on-site vaccination for bigger organizations as well as outreach camps to cover remote pockets/far flung areas. The district police are also providing free to and fro cab service to the senior citizens for the vaccination site. We realized that the idea of waiting in hospital for vaccination is overwhelming for some fearing exposure to premises supposedly having greater load of virus. So, for those who don’t want to wait onsite but prefer to get vaccinated in the comfort of their cars, we have opened up the Drive-Through Vaccination Centres.
One of the centres is located at Mohali District Sports Complex and the other at Piccadillia, Mullanpur.
Making an appeal to get vaccinated as soon as possible in order to safeguard themselves and others, the Deputy Commissioner informed that at both these centres, vaccination is open for age group 45+, Front Line Workers and Health Care Workers. The vaccination timing here is 10 am - 4 am. Moreover, no pre-registration is required to avail the facility at Drive-Through Centres.
Giving a word of advice, he suggested that for faster movement the details including name, date of birth/age, mobile number and an ID card should be handy.
He informed that after the vaccination in the car, the vaccinated person will have to wait in his car in the ear-marked parking area for the stipulated observation time and would just require honk to avail medical assistance, if required.
