DHCBA Announces Free Covid-19 Vaccination Camp for Members in Partnership with Fortis Hospital

The Delhi High Court Bar Association had confirmed the setting up of a Covid-19 vaccination camp to vaccinate its members at a faster pace.

The camp will be set up within the High Court premises from 1st April 2021, said communication by DHCBA.

Fortis Hospital will be partnering with DHCBA to make the camp operational. The camp once set up, is expected to inoculate 200 members each day with Covishield vaccines.

This additional provision for vaccination will be running alongside the existing daily vaccination drive.

The communication from DHCBA also made it clear that the vaccinations will be provided free of cost to the members and will be on a first to register, first-served basis. DHCBA will also be giving second doses of the vaccine as per government guidelines.

DHCBA members interested in getting themselves vaccinated at the camp is to email their details to covid19.dhcba@gmail.com.

The DHCBA communication noted that all activities at the camp would strictly follow the Covid-19 safety protocols issued by the government.

The DHCBA had been conducting a daily vaccination drive from April 2021. Earlier in February, a single bench of the High Court had asked the Bar Association to formulate a plan to vaccinate the lawyers considering the rising number of Covid-19 cases among the lawyers.

DHCBA had decided to temporarily close its office within the High Court after three judges of the court tested positive for Covid-19. The High Court is functioning in a hybrid mode during the second wave of the pandemic.

Delhi government said that it would begin unlocking from Monday (31/05/2021).
