Chennai: The Tamil Nadu government on Tuesday urged the center to provide an additional dose of the additional Covid-19 vaccine for the mega vaccination camp scheduled starting from September 12.
Minister of Health Tamil Nadu Ma Subramanian in a letter to the Minister of Health Union Mankaviya was asked an additional one covid crore vaccine along with the same number of 0.5 ml ad syringes or 1ml / 2ml syringe needle to the country.
This is in addition to the 1.04 Crore vaccine that has committed the Covid-19 government vaccination center, he said.
He showed that as the next step to improve the drive of Covid-19 vaccination in the state, it was decided to conduct a “mega vaccination camp on covid vaccination” every week, starting from September 12.
“This is to cover the Left-Out population that meets the requirements that meet the requirements of aged 18 years in the state without diluting daily vaccination drives,” Minister of State said.
Subramanian further said that the Indian government, until September 5 has been supplying 3.31.84,824 doses of covid vaccine and 1,83,95,400 (0.5 ml) syringe in the country.
“The population that qualifies above 18 years in Tamil Nadu for two doses of Covid vaccination is around 6.06 crores.
Until September 5, the state has covered the first dose of 2.63 Crore recipients and 68.91 Lakh recipients who were vaccinated with both Dosage at the Covid vaccination center., “He said.
This country vaccinates around 5 doses of lakh per day for the past seven days.
Considering the current vaccination rate, the current inventory is adequate only for three to four days so it is difficult to plan to cover the abandoned population that qualifies.
“The remaining population that qualifies above 18 years in Tamil Nadu which needs to be vaccinated with the first dose is 3.44 crores and people who are due to the second dose are around 18.89 lakh in September.
This has been represented to the Minister of Health Uni during the recent meeting in New Delhi on September 3, “said Minister of Health Tamil Nadu.
Minister Tamil Nadu remembers that during the meeting, the UNI Health Minister also agreed to and impressed the need to ensure 100 percent vaccination in all schools, universities and to cover the qualified population that did not qualify priority and time bound by priority and time.
and promise all help in this matter.
“Given the higher positive advanced and the number of higher cases reported every day in neighboring Kerala, the problem of vaccination of all people who qualify in bordering districts is also mentioned during interaction,” he said.
During the meeting, the Minister of Health Uni asked the state to aim and ensure 100 percent vaccination for all eligible populations that did not qualify based on priority in all districts which bordered by the state of Kerala including coimbatore, tubkasi, tubcation, tubkasi, tiety, niligiris, theny , Tirunelveli, Tiruppur and Virudhunagar in the state.
It is estimated at 65.
76 Lakh populations in nine districts must be given the first dose of vaccines.
The country hence plans to further increase the rate of vaccination and realize that the large population that meets the requirements that qualify continues to make the country vulnerable to Covid cases, regardless of all other actions.
