Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMay 12, 2021

COVID vaccination for jail inmates will also be conducted very soon in the state.

“We are already in communication with the prison authority to collect the number of people who need the vaccination as there are a lot of people who are already 45 years and above in the (different) prisons,” Director Health Services (MI) Dr Aman War told reporters on Wednesday.

“The capacity of the prisons and how many people in each cell that also we are taking into consideration,” he said.

The DHS however said they are taking all precautions as they are already there inside so the question of them becoming positive will not arise.
