The Micro, Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (MSMEs) in the organised sector in Coimbatore district have achieved average 87% coverage of one dose of COVID-19 vaccine for its workers, District Collector GS Sameeran said on Tuesday.
The Collector said that almost 3.3 lakh workers in the MSMEs have taken at least one dose of the vaccine. In the case of large-scale industries, the average vaccination coverage is 92% (one dose) with a little more than one lakh workers taking the jab. “We expect the MSME workers covered to stagnate at about 87%. This is because the attrition rate is high in these units and the workers keep switching jobs,” he said. Though there is no data available on workers in the unorganised sectors, several unorganised sector workers are expected to have taken the vaccination at the camps organised regularly in the district.
