As crowds grow, Trichy increases vaccine centres

TRICHY: Based on the suggestions made by the medical professionals involved in the vaccination drive in the city, Trichy Corporation has increased the number of venues from four to 12 centres.
This will come into effect from Friday, as the turnout for vaccination has been increasing every day in the city even without much promotion.
As there was only one centre for each of the four zones so far, people belonging to the wards from 15 to 18 in each of the zones had been depending on the centres that are nearer to them.
All the vaccination centres have been witnessing good crowds despite the poor promotion.
Meanwhile, often medical professionals, including nurses posted at the centres, had to face the wrath of people when they were denied tokens due to the lack of vaccine stocks.
The civic body officials under pressure have identified three vaccination centres for each of the four zones.
Schools and colleges in the corporation zones were also chosen as vaccine centres.
“Decentralisation is the best method to reduce the crowd within the ward they belong to.
As we are getting doses on alternative days, a long-term plan is needed,” a medical professional said.
While there are 74 corporation schools in the city, the civic body was approached by only a few schools to utilise their campus for vaccination.
Corporation sources said it restricted the number of vaccination centres owing to the lack of health workers.
To overcome the shortage, the civic body was told to make use of trained nursing students from private nursing colleges as done by NGOs at vaccination camps.
“We will disclose the locations of vaccination camps in advance, besides taking measures to streamline the crowd,” S Sivasubramanian, commissioner, Trichy Corporation, said.
