CCpur, July 29 2016 :
The mass vaccination exercise conducted by Health Department in the district will be stopped from tomorrow as officials said it could no longer satisfy the ever surging crowd with the supply that was meant for routine vaccination and not for masses.
The District Health Officials along with the District Administration weighed on the issue late in the evening today and took the decision to halt the mass vaccination exercise, an official told this correspondent.
The decision is believed to have been taken as the vaccine the department received from the State are meant for routine exercise and not for mass vaccination.

Until the State authorities officially authorised or order mass vaccination the it will not be feasible for the district officials to continue the mass exercise, added the official.
Meanwhile, about 10,000 people were administered the JE vaccine today at two different locations.
Officials said about 2000 vials which can be administered to 10,000 people arrived from Imphal today but the entire stock were emptied within hours as the turn-out was much larger than the day before.
Even before the arrival of the vaccine, the hospital campus where the vaccination camps have been set-up was already cramped and unmanageable, this correspondent reports.
