Govt. of West Bengal.
Sub. : Opening of Community Vaccination Centers in West Bengal and Vaccination at Doorsteps for Senior Citizens.
Respected Madam,
With reference to the above, I, on behalf of the north Bengal University Alumni Association, request you to kindly open Community Vaccination Centers in West Bengal for mass vaccination of the population as well as vaccination at doorsteps as an additional benefit to the senior citizens,
At present, since very few such Vaccination Centers are available in the State, those places are highly crowded, particularly at this juncture, due to severe shortage in supply of vaccines. Overflowing crowds and hours of waiting make everyone vulnerable to infection and its rapid spread, the senior citizens being the first victims and worst sufferers.
We propose that Registered Local Clubs, Libraries, Open Air Stages/ Theatres, NGOs, Voluntary Associations, Cultural Organizations, organizations of students and youth etc. be roped in for this purpose to set up dozens of Centers within jurisdiction of every Municipal/Corporation Ward and Gram Panchayat. These Community Vaccination Centers will enable the people living in the vicinity to receive vaccine doses without the hassles of long travel in this situation of 2nd wave of extremely contiguous Covid-19. We are ready to co-operate in this respect within our limited means. Additionally, vaccination at doorsteps will benefit millions of aged citizens.
We appeal to you to kindly consider this proposal in the interest of the common people. Our State of West Bengal, under your leadership, will become the frontrunner in this noble initiative.
With best regards,
(Dr.T.K.Chatterjee)
Secretary.
