Thiruvananthapuram : Persons who fail their appointment to receive Covid-19 vaccine without informing their concerned centre in advance will have their opportunity missed, said Health Minister KK Shailaja. People receive the date, time and place they should report to up on registering with Covin App. However some individuals do not show up any time during the allotted day and render the vaccine idle. More importantly, such clueless absence deprives a potential substitute from receiving the shot - a reason behind the current decision. .
When there arises inconvenience of some sort, the concerned person should inform their inability to keep the appointment in advance to the vaccine centre, so another health worker is vaccinated in their place, said the minister. The minister also instructed to hasten with pending inoculations as time nears for commencement of the second phase.
Those being vaccinated in the first phase comprise health workers from govt and private sectors, Asha and, Anganwadi .
