CHENNAI: Like many other states, Tamil Nadu too might not begin vaccination for the 18 to 44 age bracket from May 1. The reason is the low stock of COVID-19 vaccines as the Union government is yet to give any information on the supply of vaccine to the state, said TN health secretary J Radhakrishnan on Friday here.
Speaking to the press after inspecting the Unified Command Centre (UCC) at the DMS campus here, Radhakrishnan said, The state is yet to receive any information from the Centre on things like how much supply it would receive each from the Serum Institute of India, Pune and Bharat Biotech, Hyderabad, and when the state would receive the supply if the order is placed.
