Shalby Multispecialty Hospitals has commenced pre-registration for covid vaccination for children. These preregistrations are being conducted at all its 11 hospitals located across the country, with four hospitals in Ahmedabad (SG Highway, Krishna Shalby at Ghuma, Shalby Naroda, and Vijay Shalby) and one in each in Mumbai, Jaipur, Indore, Surat, Vapi, and Mohali.

Preregistrations for children are being done parallelly even as they are in talks with schools and other organizations for tie-ups.  By way of preregistrations, Shalby is gearing up to provide a smooth vaccination process as soon as the government signals approval for child vaccinations. It will administer all vaccines approved by the government as per government protocol and directives. The preregistrations are aimed at registering both healthy children and those with comorbidities, however, priority will be given to the latter in the roll-out of the vaccines as they have a higher chance of severe illness. Hence, the focus will be to conduct the vaccination for children and prevent severe illnesses as well as mild diseases among them.

According to Dr. Nishita Shukla, Group COO of Shalby Hospitals, “We are fully prepared for this and have started preregistration so that the maximum number of parents can register their children for vaccination. Post Government approvals, we will be able to provide vaccines to children and help cover the overall vaccination numbers at the earliest.”

These preregistrations will serve as the first step to helping the children receive their Covid vaccine after government approvals and directives. Shalby Hospitals will procure and administer all the approved vaccines while adhering to all Government protocols and directives.
