3-day COVID-19 vaccination drive ready to roll out despite lack of volunteers –NTF
The government is ready to commence the three-day national vaccination drive on Monday, November 29, despite a shortfall in volunteers.
The National Task Force Against COVID-19 (NTF) stated that approximately 18,000 volunteers have confirmed their participation.
However, the NTF emphasized that an additional 51,000 volunteers are still needed to manage over 6,000 active vaccination sites and potentially 5,000 more sites.
These volunteers are required to assist with registration, site observation, traffic management, and encoding, and do not necessarily need a medical background.
Several government agencies have committed personnel to support the vaccination drive.
