She appeals to residents to take the jab
Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Sunday, November 7, 2021, led the Health Department’s drive to promote vaccination against COVID-19 in areas where inoculation coverage is low.
The Lt. Governor visited vaccination camps organised by the Health Department at Muthialpet and Karuvadikkuppam and personally appealed to residents, who, for various reasons, were excusing themselves from taking the jab, to get vaccinated.
Some residents who were avoiding vaccination fearing contraindications, and those who feared side effects as they had co-morbidities such as hypertension and diabetes, were won over through persuasion and vaccinated on the spot by health workers. It was pointed out that no serious side effect had been reported even after the country had administered over 1 billion doses.
