Srinagar: The Surveillance and Medical Officer (S&MO), WHO, Dr Ashiq Rashid Mir said on Tuesday that the vaccinated people have contributed to the delay of the 3rd wave of Covid-19. He however warned that the next hundred days are very crucial for the emergence of any next wave.
Dr Mir stressed that the strategy to delay or stop the impact of the 3rd wave is to get vaccinated.
