Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Tuesday said the COVID-19 vaccine would not cause any casualties and urged target beneficiaries to take the preventive jab.
Participating in the vaccination awareness programme organised by the Health Department at Gandhi Thidal, Beach Road, the Lt. Governor requested people to share the information regarding the vaccine and encourage others to get inoculated.
Ms. Soundararajan said those who were on election duty for the upcoming Assembly elections should also be vaccinated against COVID-19.
