Saga of vaccine Doctor and dad
New Indian ExpressTIRUCHY: Walking across the streets when the pandemic was at its peak, wearing masks and keeping sanitizers in hand, Dr A Mohamed Hakkim was keen on playing his part in dispelling the fears over Covid-19 vaccines among Tiruchy’s laymen. ‘Vaccine Doctor’ Hakkim and his father Dr MA Aleem, natives of Tiruchy, are one such exceptional duo which never failed to contribute its maximum for the district’s development initiatives. From entering the field as a medical officer in 1986, till retiring as the vice principal and dean-in-charge of KAP Viswanatham Medical College, Aleem has actively participated in various activities of the district administration, including the organisation of free medical camps, Swachh Bharat initiatives, among others. Apart from having held positions in the Advisory Committee of Tiruchirappalli International Airport, Tiruchy district welfare fund committee and others, Aleem continues to serve as a visiting professor in many medical colleges. Recognised by many as the ‘Vaccine Doctor’ for his efforts to tackle vaccine hesitancy during the pandemic, this 30-year-old played a crucial role in achieving 100% vaccination coverage in Tiruchy city.
