Coimbatore: More than 1 lakh people are vaccinated during mass vaccination journey on Sunday, although district administration has set a target of 2 lakh.

These include daily vaccination drives and vaccination centers all the time that offer options for the public for inoculation.
Therefore, the number of vaccinated people had dropped during the mass vaccination drive, a senior health official said.
A total of 1,09,582 people were vaccinated in the district, 72,047 received their second dose this week, a senior health official said.
The preferred covishield includes elders too.
Usually, the age population and people with comorbid conditions prefer covaxin.
Because Covaxin has not been recognized by WHO and travel abroad may not be possible with Covaxin, people choose Covishield, said an official.
