It is a beneficial and necessary initiative for the underprivileged who can’t register themselves online and thus can't get vaccinated.

Michelle David, another volunteer of the Robin Hood Army, said, “Due to the efforts of everyone, this four-day drive will be successful. So far, 1,037 people have gotten free vaccination for which we thank the District Magistrate.”

She further added, “Our aim is to get maximum people vaccinated before the third wave so that we do not face the horrific situation we had to undergo during the second wave. Too many precious lives were lost. We are getting the people living in the slum areas, daily wage labourers and those who don't have the access to the internet for registering online vaccinated. Robin Hood Army as a team are working in this noble cause. The volunteers have taken up different responsibilities during the vaccination drives.”

Devi Laxmi, a domestic help in Dwarka, shared, “I’m happy that I’m vaccinated, thanks to people who organised this drive and helped us.”
