Commending the health agencies on their success, Pawar informed that about 17.81 lakh people were vaccinated in the month of July in the district.

"We want to make sure that when schools start all the staff, from principal to the guard, should be vaccinated with two doses of vaccine and we have made preparations according to that," he said.

Expressing concern over the third wave of Covid-19, the minister said that the government has allotted funds accordingly and that Pune's both jumbo hospitals haven't been taken down. "So the district remains prepared for any future waves," he said.
