CHENNAI: As active Covid cases have come down to 0.5 per cent in the State, focus is now on expanding vaccination target groups. While the Greater Chennai Corporation on Tuesday said election officials and media persons would be eligible to get the vaccine, public health experts say that it is high time the target groups are expanded to senior citizens and vulnerable population. Ever since the State allowed frontline workers receive the jab, the beneficiary numbers rose by more than 50 per cent.
From a daily 6,866 beneficiaries on February 1, the numbers rose to 21,645 on February 15. Public health experts say that it is important to immediately include senior citizens and vulnerable populations to the beneficiary list as the State still continues to record deaths in single digits with mostly senior citizens succumbing to the virus.
