A special function is being organised to honour COVID-19 workers at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Bilaspur on Sunday.
Shimla: Himachal Pradesh has become the first state to fully
vaccinate 100 per cent of its adult population against COVID-19, an official
spokesperson claimed here on Saturday.
As many as 53,86,393 eligible adults have been administered the
second dose, he said, adding Himachal Pradesh was also the first state to
achieve the 100 per cent first dose vaccination of adult population by the end
of August.
A special function is being organised to honour COVID-19 workers
at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Bilaspur on Sunday,
he said.
BJP National
President JP Nadda and Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya will attend the
function, during which COVID-19 workers will be given certificates recognising
their significant role in vaccinating the citizens, he said.
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur, Union Minister Anurag Thakur and
the state's Health Minister Rajiv Saizal will also participate in the function,
he added.
Meanwhile, in a
separate statement issued a few days ago, the state BJP president and Shimla MP
Suresh Kashyap had said that Nadda will also inaugurate an out-patient
department at AIIMS during his visit.
The function will be held three months after Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on September 6 appreciated the state's efforts in the administration
of vaccines.
