The vaccination drive is being conducted at WUS Health Centre at North Campus and in West Delhi. While the vaccine doses can be received at the West Delhi Health Centre from Monday to Saturday, the vaccine will be available at North Campus centre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 am to 4pm.
Meanwhile, with more students on campus a day after colleges reopened in DU, authorities and volunteers were seen ensuring Covid-appropriate behaviour on Friday, while teachers expressed hope that attendance will increase in the coming week when hostellers return.
Delhi University colleges resumed physical classes on Thursday after almost two years as Covid cases dipped in the city, and this also meant good news for cash-strapped eateries and canteens as students thronged them in lunch breaks.

The Vishwavidyalaya Metro Station, near the university's north campus, saw a beeline of students exiting and entering it as guards equipped with thermal scanners checked their temperature according to Covid guidelines. "I arrived in Delhi today so that I can settle myself over the weekend. I wasn't prepared for this and was hoping that classes would start from March 1. But I don't want to miss out on studies so I rushed. I will be joining college from Monday," Ritika Jain, a student of Keshav Mahavidyalaya, said.
