Kovacs not vaccinated in Tamil Nadu: Minister Ma Subramanian
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Minister Ma Subramanian said that 12.74 lakh people have been vaccinated in Tamil Nadu till 4:15 pm today against the target of 1.5 lakh doses. Last week, 28.91 lakh people were vaccinated in 40,000 camps. Salem needs to create more awareness. Next week we are going to give additional vaccines. Last week, 1.19 lakh people were vaccinated in Salem
In India, 62 per cent and in Tamil Nadu, 56 per cent have been vaccinated. If the federal government provides adequate immunizations, we are willing to pay for additional immunizations. Under the AIADMK regime, only 63 lakh people were vaccinated. When the vaccine became readily available, the government of the day failed to use it. If the federal government had given enough immunizations, everyone would have been vaccinated by this time.
The central government is targeting 1.4 million vaccines this September. But additional immunizations should be given. Availability of Kovacs vaccine decreases and Kovacs vaccine is not given for the first time. When the third wave of corona comes, the Tamil Nadu government is ready to face it. Criminal action will definitely be taken against 3 people who cheated in the health sector during the last regime and there is no new type of dengue in Tamil Nadu. Adequate preventive measures have been taken. He said.
