Urgent Circular
9th June, 2021
To :
Hony Secretary
All Affiliated Units
WBBA.
Sub : Vaccination drive for the registered players (18 plus age
onwards).
Dear All,
We are all seriously concerned about continued severe Covid 19
Pandemic, which has taken away lives of millions in the Country and normal life
has come to a total standstill. Everyone is panic stricken and having dire
psychological impact.
Even though it is medically advised that everyone above 18 years
should get vaccinated, we don’t have easily accessible and sufficient available
Centres. Lots of young boys and girls are roaming around to have
vaccinated.
In this unprecedented situation, WBBA has felt that it should
attempt to undertake vaccinating all its associates so as to provide medically
required immunity to fight the pandemic now and if at all its forthcoming third
wave, as informed. As a first step forward all registered players above 18
years age group to be provided with vaccinations.
This could only be achieved with the help, cooperation and
active assistances and participations of all affiliated Members.
PROPOSAL
While WBBA is ready and most willing to bear 50 percent of the
entire expenses, the affiliated Units to bear 50 percent of the expenses of
vaccinations
IMPLEMENTATIONS
District Units, other than mentioned below, to make their
own arrangement with any local Hospitals/Centres and provide vaccinations to
their respective registered players and WBBA to reimburses 50 percent
expenses OR send the Players to WBBA
designated Hospitals at Kolkata for vaccinations, in which case, immediate
expenses for such vaccinations to be provided by WBBA and the concerned
Districts to reimburse 50% costs to WBBA and also to bear travelling and
lodging expenses of the players.
For Kolkata based Units and a few adjoining Districts such as
North 24 Parganas & 24 Parganas-South, Hoogly, Howrah and Chandernagore,
WBBA would tie up with Private Hospitals to extend vaccinations along with
their own channels to the concerned registered players.
As the issue is extremely urgent and alive, please inform
your valued views about the above implementation procedure of Vaccination
within Monday the 14th June, 2021 as we intend to complete the vaccination
at the earliest and if possible within 30th June, 2021.
Let us all join hands for this essential human cause and try our
best without least delay.
In the meantime, please inform the players about this
vaccination drive and advise them to send the copies of Adhar Cards to you.
Thanking you and waiting for prompt responses,
Sekhar C Biswas
