One crore people vaccinated in September: Health Minister
Over one crore people were vaccinated against COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu in September. The introduction of the mega vaccination drives had led to this increase in the number of people taking jabs, Health Minister Ma. Subramanian said in Tiruchi on Sunday.
A total of 17,19,544 people took jabs on Sunday, of whom 9,68,010 took the first dose and 7,51,534 the second. Incessant rains in over 16 districts in the State may have impacted the performance in some districts, though many people turned up despite the downpour, Mr. Subramanian told reporters after inspecting vaccination camps in Pudukottai and other districts.
A total of 24,882 camps were conducted at various places including primary health centres, government hospitals, anganwadi centres, schools and other public places.
