Chief Minister N Rangasamy on Monday exhorted all eligible people to get themselves vaccinated against Covid-19 without delay to gain the only available form of protection against the pandemic. Felicitating sponsors and donors from various sectors for augmenting the medical facilities and establishment of a new Covid ward on the premises of the Government Chest Hospital here, he said, "The government on its own has limitations in adding health infrastructure beyond a point and a collective effort involving CSR initiatives can go a long way in doing social good." To underscore the importance of vaccination, the Chief Minister recounted how he himself was reluctant initially to get a shot, but soon contracted the virus and had to be hospitalised. "I failed to take the two jabs. Later, I had to take several injections at the hospital," he said.
