Chief Minister M.K. Stalin inaugurated the statewide rollout of Covid-19 precautionary booster doses at an official event in Chennai, prioritizing healthcare staff, frontline administrative personnel, and senior citizens aged sixty and above with co-morbidities. Emphasizing clinical protection against emerging viral mutations, Stalin highlighted that booster immunization reinforces antibody levels and mitigates severe hospitalization risks among high-exposure groups managing the ongoing third pandemic wave.

The Chief Minister explained that the third vaccine dose is administered to eligible beneficiaries who have completed nine months or thirty-nine weeks since receiving their second dose. The public health department deployed dedicated vaccination teams across primary health centers, government hospitals, and urban health clinics, creating streamlined walk-in and online registration systems to ensure prompt inoculation. Stalin inspected clinical monitoring rooms where newly vaccinated frontline workers were observed following jab administration, commending their tireless dedication throughout consecutive pandemic surges.

Stalin appealed to eligible senior citizens and municipal workers to utilize the free vaccination facilities provided across all urban and rural centers. He reaffirmed that his government remains fully committed to safeguarding vulnerable populations through robust public health interventions and accessible immunization.
