Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has announced that ‘precautionary’ dose of COVID-19 vaccine would be administered for senior citizens at their homes.
On Monday, in a tweet, the civic body urged senior citizens to call Corporation helpline to get the precautionary booster dose vaccination at home.
“Persons aged above 60 years with co-morbidities can avail home vaccination by booking it through emergency helpline 1913 or #COVID helpline 044-2538 4520 and 044-4812 2300,” the tweet said.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
