Govt. stepping up efforts to reach out to those due for their second jabs
About 57% healthcare workers (HCW) and 45% frontline workers (FLW) have been fully vaccinated in Tamil Nadu. Officials said while some remaining HCWs and FLWs might not have reached the due date for their second dose of vaccines, the Health Department was stepping up efforts by reaching out to those due for their second jab. The demand for COVID-19 vaccines picked up slowly after immunisation was rolled out on January 16 for the priority group of HCWs, followed by FLWs, such as the police, revenue and local administration employees. According to data from the Health Department, 9,40,632 HCWs and 12,03,401 FLWs have been registered for vaccination.More Related News
