Billboards to display beneficiaries’ snaps to encourage vaccinations

New Delhi, Jan 28 : In a move to encourage the turnout for Covid vaccination drive, district administrations across Delhi plan to display snapshots of beneficiaries inoculated in the immunisation exercise at designated vaccination centres, officials said on Thursday.
The officials have decided to take snapshots of beneficiaries while taking jabs to display on billboards, which will be positioned at the hospitals cum vaccination points.
“They will be positioned at key hospitals and at the centres which have not been able to meet the expected daily target,” a senior official told IANS.
“The healthcare workers will gain more confidence when they will see that their peers are featured on the billboard. It will also instill a sense of pride among the beneficiaries featured and will further boost the morale of their colleagues,” the official added.
The hospitals have also started to share the photograph of the beneficiaries inoculated there.
“We have provided the photographs to the administration,” Dr Neelam Roy, nodal officer of Covid vaccination at Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital told IANS.
