Move follows appeal from health staff
The eighth mega COVID-19 vaccination camp, scheduled to be held on Saturday (November 6), has been postponed to November 14, Health Minister Ma. Subramanian said.
The decision to postpone the camp was made following appeals and representations from healthcare providers/staff and associations due to the holiday declared by the government for the day after Deepavali and weekend. Besides, the India Meteorological Department has predicted rain due to the northeast monsoon in 15 districts on Saturday, he told reporters on Friday.
With the second dose pendency remaining close to 65 lakh, the Minister urged those due to receive it not to wait and get vaccinated at the daily centres.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
