Chennai: Tamil Nadu has a much higher part of the elderly people without the protection of the Covid-19 vaccine full of estimated, analysis based on the mid-year mid-year population show.

Tamil Nadu estimates the adult population as 6.06 crore based on the calculation of the state health intelligence bureau, but the census projects it at 5.78 crores.
However, it placed the number of people above 60 at 1.04 crore, higher than the estimated 86 lakh TNS.
This encourages the coverage of the vaccine for the vulnerable elderly population of 51% (the first dose) to 42% although the decline encourages the overall coverage for the first dose to 62% of the previous 59% (first dose).
Even worse, only 18% of the elderly are fully vaccinated compared to the average state of 20%.
After the Delta variant encouraged a daily case up to 36,000 in May, the vaccination rate rises.
“However, almost 3/5 of senior residents remain very vulnerable,” said Radhakrishnan.

“It is also important to remember that the vaccine offers the desired protection only when the person takes the second booster dose.” Since September 25, TN has reported 149 deaths.
Nearly 108 deaths (72%) are people above 60.
More than 80% have comorbid conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
