THOUBAL, Jul 23 : Malom in Heirok Assembly Constituency has become the first village in Thoubal district to be fully vaccinated.
Appreciating the co-operation of the people in ensuring that all eligible people get the vaccination shot, local MLA Th Radheshyam donated Rs 10,000 from his salary to the Malom Task Force.
Addressing the people on achieving the distinction, the MLA said that now people of Heirok AC can turn their attention towards getting vaccinated as the season's farm work is nearing completion.  Most of the people of Heirok AC are farmers, the MLA noted.
Vaccination is the key word to face the pandemic, said the MLA and urged all to get themselves inoculated before the third wave arrives.  Malom has 354 people above the age of 18 who are eligible to get the vaccine shots.
All the 354 people along with another three from a neighbouring village received the vaccine shots yesterday during a mass vaccination drive, which was held in three phases.
