Indore: 5 private schools in Indore sealed by district administration for not achieving 100 percent vaccination target as yet

For the first time, the district administration shut down five private schools in the city for lagging behind in vaccination on Monday. The schools will not be allowed to open their doors at all until 100 percent vaccination is achieved in the schools.
This stern action was taken citing the necessity of protecting children from a third wave coronavirus outbreak with omicron variant spreading faster than wildfire.
Numbers of children infected with coronavirus variant omicron and its sub-lineage BA.2 are already disturbing in the city. Many children have been found to have lung involvement in the infection, especially the recently reported six children.
Hence, the current situation as the doctor's quote is disturbing and vaccination is an essential step to prevent fast spread of the virus.
To ensure 100 percent vaccination, district administration took strict action against the schools not supporting and ensuring 100 percent vaccination of teens in the school.
Vaccination for teenagers in the age-group of 15 years and 18 years will start in 387 private and private schools of Indore from January 3, 2022. All the schools were given strict instructions to ensure 100 percent vaccination.
However, till date, about 60,000 students in the mentioned age-group remained non-vaccinated. Analysing the data, the district administration took action.
“When the vaccination campaign was started, it was clearly stated and quoted to schools that they must comply with the rules and ensure 100 percent vaccination,” district education officer Manglesh Vyas said. He added that the administration formed different monitoring groups in every block as well.
“In vaccination campaign, every school whether private or government was to be treated equally and this is just the beginning,” Vyas said. He added that the monitoring groups found five schools lagging behind in vaccination.
“No percentage will be accepted, it is a zero tolerance movement, wherein all the schools must ensure 100 percent vaccination, not even 97 percent is accepted,” Vyas said.
The schools that were sealed include five private and government. Among private schools, St Arnold HS School and Begum Khan Bahadur School were reported to be lagging behind in vaccination and not supporting the campaign despite clear instruction.
These schools will stay sealed until they report 100 percent vaccination.
