Facilitated by our Bangalore office,
a community vaccination drive has
been organised for re-wrap staff and
their family members. This provides an
additional layer of safety since they
don’t need to leave their homes for
vaccination and avoid getting exposure
to possible viral infection.
A team of qualified and well-trained
doctors / nurses visit homes for
vaccination at a time convenient to
members. They not only ensure the
right administration of a vaccine but
also explain the post-vaccination
effects & their management with right
edification.
The road ahead :
• Continue to support the identified 1000 families with food and safety kits till the lockdown
eases and reach out to more families in need
• Monitor all Oxygen concentrators installed at various hospitals and ensure they are
supported with spares and mechanic in case of failures and regular maintenance
• Procure more medicines and support rural hospitals across Mysore, Gumballi, Mandya &
Maddur, where we see high levels of covid cases
• Trying to get a psychotherapist on board to address the mental wellbeing of our members
and staff
• Generate awareness among communities so they are better prepared in the event of a
third wave
• Rework on production plans for all our clients on easing of lockdown restrictions and
work round the clock to ensure deliveries are met
