They will be able to get vaccinated without having to book a slot online
From Monday onwards, Ernakulam district will begin vaccination for those who are due to receive the second shot, without mandatory online slot booking. People who took the first Covishield dose 112 days ago or the first Covaxin dose 42 days ago will be able to take the second dose without having to book a slot online. Those over 60 years who have not yet taken the first dose and those who are scheduled to go abroad for work or study will also be able to take the shot similarly. They are advised to contact local health workers or the vaccination centre to check stock availability. The Kochi Corporation has taken steps to streamline the process for people who fall within the categories allowed to take the shot without prior slot booking. The division councillors are to be contacted. With 19 vaccination centres within the corporation limits, residents of one division are likely to get their turn once a week. A single vaccination centre will cater for people of five divisions to complete the priority vaccination drive.
