It also warned that no one should spread rumours or fall prey to false information about the vaccines.
It also stressed that the Central Waqf Board (CWC), New Delhi instructed all the Waqf related institutions across the country to play a vital role in the mass vaccination campaign and therefore urged all concerned to get vaccinated at their nearest PHC/CHC/District Hospitals/Mobile/Notified Vaccination Camps at the earliest and also actively engage in vaccinating all eligible persons in their respective localities.
Any difficulty in availing the vaccines may be intimated to Waqf Board Manipur project officer Md Tajuddin Shah (9366952766/8259822649) who in turn will immediately liaise with the district authorities concerned, it further informed.
