All private hospitals in the district are required to submit a database of their medical, paramedical and other support staff to ensure that COVID-19 vaccine, once available, can be administered to them for free on a priority basis.
The hospitals must register on a portal and provide necessary details such that the vaccine, which is being given for free by Tamil Nadu, can reach the frontline workers.
