The Hindu
18-44 age group will have to wait
The Tiruchi District Vaccine Storage on Wednesday morning received a consignment of vaccines, enabling authorities to provide vaccination to people over 45-years-old. The district had reported a significant dip in the number of people receiving the jab as the vaccine stock had diminished over the last few days. On June 1, only 1,835 people had received the jab, compared to over 10,000 beneficiaries per day last week. “The stock was dwindling and we had prioritised the second dose of patients over the age of 45, and the vulnerable group between the 18-45 age group,” Deputy Director of Health Services, Tiruchi, S. Ram Ganesh, said.More Related News
