*Citizens will have to come forward for the vaccination drive*

The state government is starting a vaccination campaign for people aged 18 to 44 from 14 May 2021. Preparations are in full swing to achieve the maximum vaccination target. So far, about 30 thousand people in the age group of 18 to 44 have already registered for vaccination.

In urban areas including Ranchi, Bokaro, Dhanbad there is a lot of enthusiasm about vaccination among people and they are coming forward for registration but there are many districts where there is still no awareness about vaccination among people. The government is putting every effort to make people aware of the benefits of the vaccine.

*Vaccination awareness campaign in tribal languages*

The government is putting ads in newspapers, social media and other communication mediums to achieve desired results. Also, apart from Hindi language ads, the government is promoting vaccination awareness drives in tribal languages including Santhali, Mundari, Ho,etc.

Members of Sakhi Mandal groups are also campaigning in the rural areas to make people aware of the vaccination. The Chief Minister himself has got the vaccine administered and is appealing to the people of the state to come forward and get vaccinated. On numerous occasions he has said, the vaccine is completely safe and will not cause any harm.
