Bhubaneswar: The COVID vaccination drive in Odisha, which was put on hold for three days due to Pulse Polio immunisation, will resume from Wednesday.

Director, Health and Family Welfare, Bijay Panigrahi on Tuesday said a total of 6,498 health workers will be vaccinated at 59 session sites, including 10 in Bhubaneswar.
