Aurangabad, Oct 15:

Presently, the AMC is worried as residents from two to three zones have not taken the vaccine. They are hesitating to take it. The AMC is now planning to design ways to create awareness and prompt these people to take the vaccine. The recently launched Mission Kavach Kundal (from October 8 to 14) also evoked good results. The AMC succeeded in administering vaccines to 29,000 persons. It includes the first dose to 11,570 citizens and the second dose to 18,279, said the municipal officer of health (MoH) Dr Paras Mandlecha.
Poor ratio of testing
