Arun told : "Awareness is the key for vaccination and the hesitancy quotient had to be overcome... and for that, regular and systematic awareness is necessary. We feel that we are successful in that. We are planning to set up mobile vaccination units so that those people who have a reluctance to go to the vaccination centres will be benefitted."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
