4.11 lakh to get second dose
The Greater Chennai Corporation has changed the strategy for vaccination, focussing on sending teams to 76 unvaccinated pockets, frequent phone calls to 4.11 lakh residents for second dose of vaccination and additional field workers to mobilise residents for camps early in the morning.
Earlier, during mega vaccination camps, field workers used to mobilise residents during the afternoon for vaccination.
On Saturday, conservancy workers and other field workers would visit homes of unvaccinated residents in the morning in each area.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
