Dear District Governor
Join the Mission, Speed up Vaccination
An unprecedented combination of political will, collaboration from Rotary and inflow of funds from philanthropists has enabled the vaccination programme against Covid in India to reach the 38-crore (380 million) mark till now. However, only in few States over 2 crore people have been vaccinated and lot more work is to be done by every one of us in eradicating Covid from India.
A report which has been published in one of the national newspapers today shows that the vaccination rate has slowed down in July 2021 compared to earlier month and only about eight percent of the country’s population has been fully vaccinated.
RI has also formed an International Committee for Covid Task Force and it is clear that during the next few years the fight against Covid will take the centre stage in our activities.
It has been decided by the Rotary India’s Covid Task Force that at the end of this Rotary year in 2022, three Rotary District Governors in India, who have played a major role by promoting the vaccination drive and motivating the clubs to implement relevant projects including creating Covid-related healthcare infrastructure, will be selected and suitably recognised.
We had requested you to nominate one Rotarian as the District Co-ordinator for the Covid eradication programme in your district. Three District Co-ordinators from all over India, who have done exemplary work in promoting vaccination and other related projects, will be selected and recognised at the end of the Rotary year 2022. Please send me the name and email address of the District Co-ordinator of your district before July 21st 2021.
Kindly form a District Covid Vaccination Promotion Committee with dynamic Rotarians and appoint one person as the Chairman. Three Chairman of the Vaccination Committee from all over India will be selected based on their achievements at the end of the Rotary year in 2022 and recognised. Please send me the name and email address of the Chairman of the newly formed Covid Vaccination Promotion Committee to me before July 21st 2021.
In addition, three Rotary clubs which have promoted vaccination in a big way and also implemented Covid related healthcare projects, will be selected and recognised at the end of the Rotary year 2022. Spread this message to all the clubs in your district and this is our time to prevent any more waves of Covid.
