Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Wednesday held a meeting with health ministers of states and UTs and said that we're going to launch a mega vaccination campaign 'Har Ghar Dastak'.
Sharing more details about the mega campaign he said that, "we're decided that for the next one month, healthcare workers will go door-to-door to vaccinate people eligible for second dose and also those who have not taken the first dose."
As a part of the vaccination, special focus will be given in these districts during the special drive, said the Union Health Minister.
