Imphal, July 08 2021:
Education, Fisheries and CADA minister S Rajen Singh on Thursday said that everyone should get vaccinated for Covid-19 in order to contain the surge of the pandemic.
Speaking to media persons during a visit at Mayanglangjing Taning High School where a mass vaccination campaign is underway, he pointed out that the most challenging deed of an individual is to save life.
Telecommunication network and technology has advanced significantly but such innovative technologies are being misused frequently, he said with reference to rumours being spread on the social media to deter the people from taking Covid-19 vaccine.
The minister asserted that media has a big role in spreading the awareness of Covid-19 and appropriate behaviour.
Immature persons sometimes create panic to the general masses by spreading wrong information about the disease and it's very unfortunate for us, he said.
"We are preparing to fully vaccinate all those who are eligible to be vaccinated and also appeal to the public to fully cooperate and come out to be a part of the ongoing mass vaccination," minister Rajen added.
