Chennai: Minister of Health Tamil Nadu Ma Subramanian has written to the United party Mansukh L Mandaviya who is looking for a covid vaccine crore dose along with the same number of syringes in addition to 1.04 crore doses that have committed to regulate the “mega vaccination camp” every week.
In a three-page letter, he said the center had supplied 3.3 doses of crore vaccines along with an automatic non-active syringe 1.8 Crore.
While thanking the center of unbroken dosage supply, Subramanian also registered the country’s requirements.
Of the 6.06 adult Crore, 2.6 Crore has received the first dose and 68.9 lakh people have completed courses in government centers.
“Considering the rate of vaccination, the current inventory is enough for only three to four days, making it difficult to plan to cover a qualified population,” he said.
In addition to need to vaccinate 3.4 crore people with the first dose, at least 18.9 lakh people will be second dose on September 5, he said.
Now, for almost a week, the state of vaccination is around 5 doses of lakh a day.
The letter detailed how, in addition to regular vaccination, the state must focus on certain groups based on priority.
Given his request when he met Mandaviya in Delhi on September 3, Subramanian said he said the country had planned to ensure 100% coverage for adults in all schools and colleges based on priority and time.
Because the number of high cases is reported every day by Kerala, the priority has been given for people who qualify in bordering districts – Coimbatore, Dindigul, Kanniyakumari, Tenkasi, Nilgiris, Tenenis, Tiruppur and Virudhunagar.
“Nearly 65.
76 Lakh populations in nine districts must be given the first dose of vaccines,” he said.
The state has decided to set up mega vaccination camps for Covid-19 every week to cover up adults left without diluting drive vaccination.
