A special Covid vaccination clinic for the transgender community was held today at a government school as part of a one-of-a-kind effort by the Gurgaon health department. The first dosage of Covishield was given to them.
The Gurgaon administration was thanked by the transgender community and sex workers for organising the camp. Speaking to NDTV, Kiran Sakhi, 46, who received her first jab said, “We feel honoured that a special vaccination camp was arranged for us. The transgender community takes this as an honour that the Gurgaon administration thought of us. We are really grateful “.
Radhika Srinivasan had travelled to the special vaccination camp with her son Akhilesh. “Akhilesh, my kid, has unique requirements. It was challenging since I didn’t know how to have him vaccinated because he can’t go in crowds “she stated
According to Ravi Somani, father of a special needs child, “Because their immune systems are so weak, children with special needs are susceptible to all illnesses. We were apprehensive about going to a regular camp because of the enormous lines. In a couple of minutes, my toddler got vaccinated here. The procedure went off without a hitch “.
