The Nashik unit of Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (Credai) has decided to carry out vaccination of workers at construction sites across the city.
Credia Nashik unit president Ravi Mahajan said registration for the vaccination drive has started and on-site vaccination would be conducted with the help of a private hospital.
According to Mahajan, there are more than 8,000 workers at different construction sites and the organisation has decided to ensure that all of them get vaccinated at the earliest.
“We have started the registration process for employees at site. We believe at least 30% have been partially vaccinated and 5 percent have been fully vaccinated. But we want to speed up the vaccination process at the earliest,” he said.
Mahajan said the vaccination will be carried out with the help of Shri Guruji Rugnalay, run by charitable trust.
“We will be providing and bearing the cost of infrastructure required in mobilizing the health staff, ensuring arrangements for the staff, among other things,” he said.
Around 300 vaccinations will be administered every day at sites that will be identified by teams of developers and the hospital. “We have administered 30,000 vaccines so far in Nashik district and the beneficiaries are from the slums in the city, Pimpalgaon Baswant, Dindori and Sinnar talukas. The hospital is now carrying out vaccination in Chunchale and five villages in tribal areas of Trimbakeshwar and Peth talukas,” Dr Rajendra Khaire, of the hospital said.
