He said 57 lakh people in Tamil Nadu were eligible to receive their second dose of COVID vaccine, while 68 per cent of the eligible population have received the first dose. "During the 6th mega vaccination camp on Saturday, we hope to vaccinate 25 lakh people who need to receive their second dose... we have 48 lakh vaccines in stock and the vaccination exercise will be held through 50,000 camps", he said. The minister advised people to adhere to the COVID-19 protocol and not drop their guard, citing the increasing cases in the UK and fresh infections registering an upward tick in Singapore after recording a declining trend.
