Shillong, Jun 22 : The Border Security Force (BSF) said on Tuesday that the force has achieved a hundred per cent Covid-19 vaccination of its personnel in Meghalaya, reports NNN.
The BSF troops in the State were badly hit and at one point of time the maximum number of COVID-19 cases was from the force.
However, with the arrival of Covid-19 vaccine, a massive vaccination drive was undertaken by BSF.  As a result, today BSF troops are almost free from Covid-19, said the force in a statement.
BSF IG Hardeep Singh has expressed thankfulness to the State civil administration for providing sufficient vaccine and to the entire medical fraternity of the BSF for having managed this pandemic with great dedication and hard work.
He added that after the vaccination of BSF troops, the vaccination of ladies and children above 18 years of age is going on and it is likely to be completed soon.
The IG further asserted that vaccination is the most potent weapon in the fight against COVID-19 and every citizen of the country should come forward and get vaccinated on priority.
