UDHAGAMANDALAM: For the fifth day in a row, the Nilgiris district went without a vaccination drive on Thursday.
Health officials expected a batch of vaccine two days ago but in vain.
There was no proper announcement to the public in connection with vaccination drives.
“Daily, we have to go to the Ooty GH or the urban primary health centre in the town to find out if the vaccination drive is taking place or not.
There is no proper announcement by the health officials regarding this,” said L Kannan, a resident of Ooty.
He said the health workers in the GH and the PHC were clueless about the vaccination drive.
“We will get at least 6,000 doses of vaccines in a day or two.
We are not able to announce the vaccination drive as the supply of vaccines is not regular,” a health official said.
Meanwhile, the district reported 442 fresh cases of Covid-19 on Thursday, taking the tally to 24,301.
With 579 patients getting discharged, 20,204 recovered from the viral infection so far.
The district reported three Covid deaths, taking the toll to 128.
