Youths take the vaccine at mantapam on TTK Road

Lots of young people have reported this morning at the Ethiraja Kalyana Mantap on TTK Road in Alwarpet to get the jab.

The Mylapore MLA formally launched the process at about 9;30 a.m. Monday.

Registration was done on the spot to all those who came in; they were asked to be seated in rows, well distanced and there was order in the process. We are told only Covishield is on offer.

Staff at GCC’s Alwarpet clinic told youths to head to this venue while seniors are being given the jab at the clinic, mostly taking their second jab.

The Mantap is opposite the petrol station and Fab India store on this road.
