No vaccine camps in Chennai today too

Greater Chennai Corporation has said it is not conducting Covid vaccination camps for the second consecutive day today, due to shortage of doses.

‘No camps on 06.07.2021. Will be updated shortly once vaccines are available,’ read a notification on the Covid-19 portal of the civic body.

Officials said fresh stock of vaccines would reach the city soon, following which vaccination work would resume.

Addressing reporters in Chennai recently, Health Minister Ma Subramanian said that the Union government would give 71 lakh doses to the state in different phases throughout the month.

‘They were only supposed to send 42 lakh doses in June but they sent 50 lakh, due to Tamilnadu’s better performance in vaccination,’ the Health Minister said.
