For controlling the rise in the number of cases, vaccination and contact tracing have been carried out now. This was as per some officials of GCC. Important information is that GCC has opened as many as 15 temporary Covid-19 vaccination centres in Chennai that is one for each zone.
It must be taken to account that both Covishield as well as covaxin would be available in these centres. It has been revealed that the Covaxin would be available only for those who are due for second doses and this has been due to the shortage. At some select sites, GCC is also organising Covaxin sessions to administer a second dose for addressing the shortage and rush etc.
