Tamil Nadu: Helpline for PwDs, bedridden patients to avail doorstep vaccination in Trichy city

TRICHY: To facilitate doorstep Covid-19 vaccination for persons with disabilities (PwD) and bedridden patients recuperating at their houses, Trichy corporation has launched a dedicated helpline to place requests.

A separate team of health workers from the civic body will collect and register the requests every day to vaccinate the section of people who cannot visit the vaccination camps.

The helpline 63852-69208 will be available to place requests between 9 am and 5 pm every day. Besides the Pwd and the bedridden population in the 65 wards here, transgenders interested to take the vaccination can also make use of the helpline, Trichy corporation said. Zone-wise demand for doorstep vaccination will be compiled to consider vaccinating the targeted population with health workers and vials available in the nearest vaccination camp to conserve the resources.
