On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the state officals to ensure minimal wastage of COVID-19 vaccines and to collect data on children being infected with COVID-19.
In a meeting with District Magistrates (DM) and field officals, he termed the virus as "baharupia" (impersonater). "Due to Coronavirus mutations, there have been more concerns about youngsters, kids. We will have to be more prepared" he said to the officals asking them to collect data on COVID infection and it's seriousness among the youth.
On Vaccine Wastage, PM Modi said that every dose wasted is denying someone protection shield against this serious disease.
"There is the issue of vaccine wastage. When vaccines are delivered to you all,we must ensure there is no wastage. You all must monitor this in both urban and rural areas. Stopping vaccine wastage is critical and you all must ensure that we don't have any (wastage)" said PM Modi.
"Coronavirus is invisible and keeps changing variants. Hence, our approach should also be dynamic and upgraded continuously. This virus has made your work more demanding and challenging. In the midst of new challenges, we need new strategies and solutions. It becomes important to use local experiences and we need to work together as a country" added PM Modi.
