Indore's monumental fight against the coronavirus began today with the immunisation of its first healthcare employee, Mrs Asha Pawar at the MY Hospital. The launch at this city centre was supervised in the presence of Water Resource Minister, Indore MP, District collector and commissioner. Vaccinator Jyoti Puranik, who has been working in the field of medicine for over last 3 decades administered the shot, and labelled her input as the most precious memory of her life.

As per the immunisation road map, the first phase of vaccination will conclude only after all health workers, listed in 15,000 phase 1 beneficiaries, are administered the second shot of the vaccine, 28 days later.

Marked off as the largest mass immunisation drive across the globe, India's vaccination programme has begun simultaneously across the nation, inducting about 3006 session sites across all states and union territories. Connected virtually on the inaugural launch of the maiden phase, each centre has envisioned to vaccinate about 100 people today, to achieve the nation's goal of vaccinating 3 crore people, including government and private-sector health care workers and Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) workers, by the end of the primary phase 1.
