No vaccination camps in Chennai on June 28, 2021 as civic body runs out of stock

Chennai has utilised all the supplies it had received four days ago, say officials

The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) will not conduct any vaccination camp on June 28 as it ran out of vaccine doses by June 27. The website, recently launched by the GCC for booking slots, had a notification on June 27 evening that read, “No vaccination camps organised tomorrow.” Nor did the GCC publish the list of vaccination centres and doses available at each centre for June 28, which it does daily. Senior officials of the GCC said the city had utilised all the supplies it had received four days ago. “Once we get the data from all the centres on doses administered today [June 27], we will know if any of the centres has any little stock left. Some urban community health centres may have a few hundred doses left, which will be administered to those walking in tomorrow [June 28],” an official said. Sources said a special drive planned for advocates and staff of the Madras High Court, which is to be inaugurated by Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee, will, however, be conducted on June 28.
