In Chennai, Get Covid Vaccine At Your Doorstep
NDTV
Only five lakh people, that is 6.5 per cent of Chennai's population, have been vaccinated so far. This drive of vaccination at the doorstep is called "Sending hospitals to homes".
Two health workers came knocking at the apartments of nine elderly residents at the sprawling Purvankara Windemere in Chennai to vaccinate them against coronavirus. 95-year-old ex-serviceman Krishna G Rao and his wife Ganga were relieved that health workers came home to vaccinate them. This is a part of the Chennai civic body's drive to vaccinate a larger population. "This is the best system for people like me instead of standing in a queue and wasting time. I am an outgoing man and for the last one year we were confined to this room," Krishna G Rao told NDTV. A few other nurses inoculated scores of residents at their club house who had any of the approved ID cards. A doctor was present monitoring everyone.More Related News
