Shortage of vaccine at the Urban Primary Health Centre (UPHC) on Gandhiji Road in Erode Corporation limits forced officials to turn away over 75 persons aged 45 and above, who had come for vaccination on Friday morning. When these persons, who had registered for vaccination, came to the centre, the staff told them there was no stock of vaccine. They had waited for an hour and left the centre after they were given tokens and asked to come on April 19. City Health Officer P.R. Murali Sankar told The Hindu the vaccine stock had exhausted and that the Erode Corporation had requested the Deputy Director of Health Services for more stock. Corporation Commissioner M. Elangovan confirmed later that they had received the vaccine on Friday evening and vaccination would continue on Saturday.More Related News
