Hold vax camps near Tasmac outlets: Vanathi

Coimbatore: BJP MLA Vanathi Srinivasan on Saturday said the state government could achieve the target of inoculating the maximum population at the earliest by conducting vaccination camps close to Tasmac outlets.
She said there was a misconception among the alcohol consumers that they might not be able to drink if they were to take the jab.
“This has been deterring them from getting inoculated.The state government can target this population by conducting vaccination camps close to Tasmac outlets,” the Coimbatore South MLA said after inaugurating a special medical camp for women at Ammankulam in her constituency as part of 71st birth anniversary celebrations of prime minister Narendra Modi.
She said the interest shown by the chief minister in opening and operating Tasmac outlets could also be shown in organizing vaccination camps close to those outlets. She asked the women in Ammankulam area to make use of the medical camp, where they could avail free scanning, breast and cervical cancer screening, and free surgeries, if required, under the Union government’s health insurance scheme. tnn
