The vaccination centres across the district witnessed huge crowd on Thursday as supply of Covaxin resumed after a gap of 12 days. As the supply of Covaxin to Tirunelveli district was stopped abruptly two weeks ago due to the lack of supply from the Union Government, the people had to rely only on Covishield. Officials say that 3.50 lakh people had been vaccinated. While 3.25 lakh had received Covishield, Covaxin has been administered to only 25,000 people due to short supply and other reasons. When the supply of Covaxin stopped abruptly, those who were waiting for the second dose struggled a lot. As the supply resumed on Thursday, the vaccination centre of Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital witnessed huge crowd. Even before the fresh stock of Covaxin could reach this vaccination centre, more than 500 persons were waiting for the vaccine.
