CHENNAI: The Apollo Proton Cancer Centre in the city has started a drive-through vaccination camp.
The initiative was launched by Preetha Reddy, vice-chairperson, Apollo Hospitals Group, at Apollo Proton Cancer Centre’s parking lot on Saturday.
In a press release, Preetha Reddy said it started the camp after realising that many people have developed vaccine hesitancy due to fear of waiting in a crowd.
People can take the dosage without stepping out of their car, the hospital said, adding that the temporary drive-through vaccination camp is dedicated for the age group of 18+ years.
The people can park their vehicles in specially-allotted spots and remain there for 20 minutes for post-vaccine observation.
Beneficiaries can register themselves through Cowin Portal and get themselves vaccinated between 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM at Apollo Proton Cancer centre, the release added.
