TN government to hold booster dose camps every Thursday
Health Minister Ma Subramanian inspected the door-to-door booster dose vaccination in Saidapet and said that as 10 lakh people in Tamil Nadu will be eligible to be vaccinated by the end of January, special vaccination camps are aimed at vaccinating more people with the precautionary booster dose.
The State Health Department will be organising special vaccination camps every Thursday for the administration of booster dose to those eligible. Officials had earlier pointed out that the administration is going on a slow pace in the State as many eligible people do not turn up at the vaccination sites on their own.
