Health workers in Andhra Pradesh asked people to come out and get vaccinated.
Hyderabad:
A vegetable vendor pushing his cart on the streets, shouting the names of vegetables in his sales pitch is a familiar sight to most of us. Health workers in Andhra Pradesh made a similar pitch asking people to come and get themselves vaccinated against the coronavirus.
A video shows a group of women health workers walking down a narrow residential street. They stopped in front of almost every house as they raised slogans of “Corona Vaccine”. Five women, some of them in vaccine storage boxes and lab coats, called on residents to get out and take their jabs.
“Have you received your first dose and second dose yet?” He asked in Telugu during the door-to-door vaccination campaign.

Apart from door-to-door vaccination campaign, health workers are also going to the field to vaccinate the left out people.
Another Twitter user reacted to the video saying, “A huge round of applause for their effort, the simplicity of the door-to-door walk and loud shouts to get the common man’s attention.” “That’s how you reach every section of society,” said yet another user.
The total dose of vaccine administered in India so far under the Mega Inoculation Program has crossed 83.39 crore. More than 71.38 lakh doses were given in the last 24 hours.
