Bhopal:09.02.2021
A majority of senior district officials, including collectors, commissioners and superintendents of police, got vaccinated on Monday as vaccination of frontline workers started in a bid to motivate other staffers.
In state capital, Bhopal, vaccination of the frontline workers started with divisional commissioner Kavindra Kiyawat and district collector Avinash Lavania getting vaccinated.
Health minister Prabhuram Chowdhary also visited the vaccination booth at the district collectorate.
Likewise, in Jabalpur, it was district collector Karamveer Sharma who started the vaccination drive by getting vaccinated first. Sources said different officials have decided different dates for vaccination — one day, divisional commissioner will get vaccinated, and then the district SP will get vaccinated.
In Rewa district, it were the divisional commissioner, IG police and Rewa district collector who got themselves vaccinated first. In Gwalior too, district officials started the vaccination drive. However, the district collector and other senior officials will get vaccinated on February 10. Despite these attempts, the overall vaccination turnout was low throughout the day as only 38 per cent vaccination turnout was reported in the state.
