Gurugram, March 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) In a first-of-its-kind initiative, Covid vaccination camps would be set up at corporate houses in Gurugram from April 1.
These camps would vaccinate employees above 45 years of age at the company premises. This was decided at a meeting held on Friday under the chairmanship of Gurugram Deputy Commissioner (DC) Yash Garg.
According to the government instructions, the Covid-19 vaccination drive for people above 45 years of age, irrespective of comorbidities, would commence from April 1.
Civil Surgeon Virendra Yadav told IANS that earlier Covid vaccination camps were started in condominiums of high rise buildings in Gurugram and now this exercise would be implemented across the country.

According to the Gurugram Deputy Commissioner, the rate of vaccination is lower in private hospitals as compared to government health centres. He urged the private facilities to improve the vaccination sessions.
