Intensive drive during Aug. 14-16
Kerala administered COVID-19 vaccine to 5,08,849 persons on Saturday as part of the intensive vaccination campaign launched from August 14-16. This is also the second consecutive day that the State is administering over 5 lakh doses on a single day. On Friday, the State had administered the vaccine to 5.6 lakh persons.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
