A special free vaccination camp for specially abled persons and transgenders was organised at Hero DMC Heart Institute today. The camp was inaugurated by Deputy Commissioner Varinder Kumar Sharma and MC Councillor Mamta Ashu.
The free vaccination camp was organised with the efforts of City Needs, an NGO, while free vaccine was donated by Sachit Jain from Vardhman Special Steels and Prem Gupta, secretary, DMCH Management.
The DC thanked industrialists for organising the ‘vaccine langar’ by donating free vaccine for differently abled and transgenders of the city.
Seeking support from residents to protect the needy against Covid-19, the Deputy Commissioner exhorted the people to gift them with vaccine on birthdays and anniversaries which would be service to the humanity. He said it would be a great service to the humanity by sponsoring vaccine for the needy.
Prem Gupta said they have already vaccinated close to 75,000 people at the DMCH and they plan to vaccinate close to 1 lakh people in next one month.
After getting vaccinated, social activist Mohini Mahant urged transgenders to get themselves vaccinated.
