According to sources, the department of family welfare has sought a proposal from the chief medical officer (CMO) regarding the opening of more such drive-through centres.

Director General (Family Welfare) Rakesh Dubey, said that CMOs had been instructed to send the proposal for big cities where there is adequate parking.

“Currently, we are preparing to start this facility in Lucknow, Varanasi, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Ghaziabad, Moradabad, Bareilly, Meerut, Jhansi, Agra, Mathura, Saharanpur, Ayodhya and Ghaziabad. If everything goes well, after the first week of June, the facility of getting vaccinated by sitting in a car can begin in these cities,” he said.

State Immunization Officer Ajay Ghai said that in order to expand the vaccination drive, new experiments are being done.

He said that the state has enough vaccines and from June 1, the age group of 18-44 can get vaccinated in any of the districts.
