A special vaccination drive is due to start for students and employees who are slated to travel overseas for education, work or athletic events such as the Tokyo Olympics.
Deputy Chief Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan said on Saturday that the special vaccination drive would start on June 22 at the Bengaluru City University.
The BBMP East Zone’s health officer had been identified as the competent authority within the BBMP limits and the second dose for the above groups will be given for those who have completed 28 days after receiving the first dose of vaccine, Dr Narayan said.
The health officer is entrusted with verifying documents of those who turn up for inoculation. He will also examine the information received from the beneficiaries in the Self Declaration Certificate Form, Annexure-4, and issue the validation letters. This validation certificate needs to be uploaded to the CoWin portal in order for beneficiaries to get vaccinated.
The beneficiaries who had not provided their passport number while receiving the first dose of vaccination should submit vaccination declaration through Annexure-5 to get inoculated with the second dose.
This is the second such drive being arranged. An initial drive was conducted in the first week of June, during which 1,500 people were vaccinated.
