The Hindu
8,187 labourers vaccinated in 34 camps so far
Hardly three weeks after its launch, the District Labour Department has been forced to temporarily suspend the organisation of anti-COVID vaccination camps for migrant workers on account of vaccine shortage. Since its launch in June 24, the department has vaccinated 8,187 migrant workers in 34 camps, which were predominantly organised in areas with a sizeable population of migrants. As per the department database, there are 80,000-odd migrant workers in Ernakulam while activists working in the field claim that it is only a fraction of the actual numbers.More Related News
