Civic body focuses on vaccinating market workers
Even as the State is facing a vaccine shortage, the Greater Chennai Corporation has been channelling its resources to vaccinate those who come into contact with a large number of people on a daily basis. It has started vaccinating workers and traders in the wholesale markets so that those who were exposed to these places do not contract the SARS CoV-2 virus. The civic body, having started the vaccination programme with limited doses in Koyambedu market a few days ago, has begun inoculating the vendors in the Chintadripet and Kasimedu fish markets. A senior official said the vaccine was in short supply and whenever they received vaccine doses they had been administering them to the priority categories such as those aged above 45 and also those working in markets.More Related News
