This is the highest number of vaccinations the Corporation has achieved in a single day so far
Under the Greater Chennai Corporation’s Mega COVID-19 Vaccination Drive conducted on Thursday, a total of 1,25,147 city residents got the jab. This is the highest one-day number of vaccinations the Corporation has achieved so far, a press release said. The Corporation, in a bid to increase the number of vaccine doses administered, conducted 400 special vaccination camps under the drive, with two camps in each of the 200 wards across the city on Thursday, targeting a total of 1 lakh beneficiaries. The number of those vaccinated, however, exceeded the target the civic body had set for itself.More Related News
