The second phase of ‘Har Ghar Dastak’ campaign will be launched in Assam’s Lakhimpur district on November 29.
The aim of the ‘Har Ghar Dastak’ campaign is to ensure that no person is left to be vaccinated for Covid19 during the vaccination exercise.

“A verifying team consisting of administrative and medical personnel will make lists of left-out and reluctant persons for vaccination,” the Lakhimpur DC said.
Har Ghar Dastak is a campaign to carry out house-to-house Covid19 vaccination of people, who are yet to take a dose and those whose second shot is overdue.
