At a time when all of India is waiting relentlessly to get vaccinated and major cities are unable to provide for the demand of the vaccine, the story is completely different in rural areas. 

Here the supply of vaccine is not only covering for the demand, but on a turn if event a lot of vaccines are unused. 

It is due to the lack of awareness and widespread fake news circulation that's making rural citizens  more and more concerned over getting vaccinated. 

In my particular village Of Bhagabatipur, There is a huge number of people who are reluctant to get vaccinated and they have a plethora of reason for it. From side effects to fatality they have all the wrong information about it. 

For instance, on 11th june there were 200 vaccines that reached the Bhagabatipur Swastha bhavan. But only 76 people got vaccinated. 

When asked, the local panchayat samiti Member said that they are starting an awareness program from 16th of june, which aims to provide authentic information about covid vaccines and make people positive about the vaccination. 

The local government us expecting the rise in no. of people getting vaccinated in the near future drives.
