MLA of Heirok Assembly Constituency Thokchom Radheshyam on Wednesday took the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine at Community Health Centre Heirok and appealed to all the eligible people to come out without any hesitation and get themselves vaccinated.
The COVID-19 vaccine as it is absolutely safe and free, Radheshyam said.
The Heirok AC MLA said, "As the second wave of COVID-19 is spreading and surging very fast, all eligible people should get themselves vaccinated at the earliest. It is better to stay safe and prepare to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic from the entire world," the MLA said.
Appealing the general public to use face masks in all public places, Radheshyam suggested that gurgling and steaming with hot water thrice a day, frequent hand washing and maintaining at least six feet gap between two persons are the means to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
"We should break the chain, defeat the pandemic and make the state free from COVID-19," Radheshyam added.
The MLA also applauded and showed his gratitude to all the frontline healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, staffs and ASHA workers for their tireless efforts in combating the pandemic.
