At least 10% of people who took the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine hesitate to take the second jab when it was due. Of the 35.8% of the people who had taken the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, only 24.5% have taken the second dose, Collector S. Sivarasu said. There is a significant gap, and only if at least 50% of the population is fully vaccinated, can the people be protected from being admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 related complications. While a section of the people is reluctant to take the second dose, many are yet to take the first dose too, the Collector said addressing a press conference here on Friday.
