Over 19,000 Lodged in Delhi Prisons, Only 603 Took Covid Precaution Doses: Data

News 18  

The third dose of COVID-19 vaccine has been administered to just about 600 out of over 19,000 inmates lodged in Delhi prisons, the authorities said on Thursday, attributing “unwillingness” and “non-eligibility” for the low coverage. According to data accessed by PTI, 28,902 Covid vaccine doses have been administered to inmates of all 16 central jails housed in Tihar, Mandoli and Rohini complexes of the Delhi Prisons department. Sandeep Goel, Director General of Delhi Prisons, said the precaution dose of COVID-19 vaccines were readily available at all the central jails but just 603 inmates have opted for it. “Our jail superintendents, senior medical officers, medical staff and jail staff are creating awareness among the inmates to take precautionary doses by explaining to them about its benefit in fighting the virus,” he said.
