PVR expands anti-COVID-19 vaccination drive for FWICE film workers

PVR has organized free vaccination for film workers and their dependents in Mumbai in partnership with Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital.

With this initiative, it aims to vaccinate the artists, spot-boys, light-men, setting-workers, junior Artists, make-up artists, Stuntmen, background dancers etc.

The first vaccination camp is being organized at PVR Cinemas, Dynamix Mall, Juhu, Mumbai on Jul 19 and 20 and will be later extended depending upon the response.

The registration will be open for walk-ins with on-the-spot registration and free of cost.

On-ground assistance for logistics, manpower support, queue management will be provided by the PVR Operation Staff while the medical support includes registration process of workers on the Co-WIN portal and their vaccination will be organized by the Nanavati Max Super Speciality Staff.

Commenting on the initiative, Ajay Bijli, Chairman and Managing Director, PVR Ltd, said, "We appreciate the government's effort for nationwide vaccination drive and we are extending our resources and playing our part to vaccinate the marginalized sections of the film industry.

"Vaccination is the key for the industry to bounce back and the film fraternity at large. We are all in this together and we want to become the evangelists for the film industry workers and protect their lives.  Expanding the drive with free vaccination to the daily wage workers of FWICE is a step in that direction.”
