Chiranjeevi announces to provide free Covid-19 vaccine for Telugu artistes

Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi recently announced a free vaccination drive for all artistes and journalists associated with the Telugu film industry. Starting Thursday, people who are above 45 will be eligible to get free vaccination through an initiative backed by Corona Crisis Charity (CCC). Under this scheme, the eligible candidates can also get their spouses vaccinated if they are aged 45 and above.

“The eligible cine artistes and journalists can register for free vaccination through their unions or associations. If your spouse is 45, they



can also get a free vaccination under this drive. We will prepare a schedule and vaccinate beneficiaries accordingly at Apollo Hospitals starting Thursday. Also, you will get free consultation for three months through Apollo 24/7,” said Chiranjeevi in a video message.

Chiranjeevi also added that beneficiaries would get required medicines under this scheme at subsidised rates.

Chiranjeevi’s announcement comes at a time when the functioning of the Telugu film industry has been hampered by the second wave of coronavirus.
