Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik takes Covid-19 jab as govt orders offline registration for vaccination

| Monday | 1st March, 2021

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday tackled the vaccine hesitancy by taking the first dose of Covid-19 jab at the Odisha Assembly dispensary even as the government ordered off-line registration of the beneficiaries during the second phase inoculation drive, beginning today.

Patnaik was administered the homegrown Covaxin developed by Bharat Biotech and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).

After receiving the jab, the CM appealed to all eligible beneficiaries to use the opportunity in an effort to rid Odisha of the coronavirus. Patnaik also extended his gratitude to doctors, health scientists and health workers for their tireless efforts against infectious diseases.

“Happy to share that I took my first dose of #COVID19 vaccine today. Grateful to our scientists, health workers for their race against time to deliver the vaccines to people. Appeal to all eligible people to come forward and get vaccinated for a #CovidFreeOdisha,” he stated in a tweet.

Meanwhile, the State government has introduced an offline registration system for elderly persons and citizens with comorbidities following technical glitches in the government website and Co-WIN app during online registration.

Additional chief secretary PK Mohapatra directed all Collectors and CDMOs to ensure a smooth inoculation drive after beneficiaries alleged link failure of the government website/app and other technical issues during on-line registration at various vaccination sites in Bhubaneswar.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also took the jab at AIIMS in New Delhi, becoming the first beneficiary in the second phase immunisation exercise that commenced today across the country.
