Around 150 people got Covid-19 vaccine shots at St Xavier’s College, Calcutta, on Saturday.

The recipients, including Jesuit priests and teachers, non-teaching staff and alumni, were above 45 years and got Covaxin doses.

The camp, held in collaboration with the state government, took place at the ground-floor auditorium and a couple of adjacent rooms on the Park Street campus.

Starting Wednesday, the campus will also serve as a government vaccination site, said an official of the college.

A Calcutta Municipal Corporation team visited the college on Saturday.

“We will offer space and some volunteers. The site will be managed by the civic body,” a college official said. The college’s own vaccination drive will continue in the coming days.

“We will organise the next camp in the first week of June. We want to include students as well,” said a member of the former student association of the college, which organised the drive.

Father Dominic Savio, principal of the college, inaugurated the camp on Saturday.

“We have been providing relief to the people whose livelihood were adversely impacted by the pandemic since last year. We are now trying to arrange vaccines to protect the people,” he told Metro.

Preparations are on to set up a safe home on the college’s Raghabpur campus in South 24-Parganas, said the member of the alumni association.
