Mr. Abishek Yadav, Academic Director, Griffins International School, said, “At Griffins International School, we always give priority to the well-being of our students. We are thankful to the local administration and happy to organize the vaccination camp for the children of the eligible age group. The students were asked to be accompanied by their parents.  COVID-19 protocols were strictly followed with physical distancing, masks and frequent hand sensitisation. We also requested the students to carry their own sanitisers and water bottles. I am hopeful that the vaccination drive will bring relief to the parents, especially considering the recent rise in COVID cases.”
