All ministers, senior government officials will be involved in the mega vaccination drive. The health department will refer to a voter list of each polling booth so that no one gets overlooked.
The Chief Minister to Chief Secretary, ministers of various departments, health workers, ASHA karmis, Anganwadi workers, and village heads will be responsible for their designated polling booths. They will visit each household under the polling booth and collect the data of vaccinated people and those who are yet to get vaccines.
