The Greater Chennai Corporation will launch temporary vaccination centres at all the 15 zones on Monday.
The civic body on Sunday announced on Twitter the sites of the temporary vaccination centres. Both Covishield and Covaxin will be available at the centres.
Due to supply constraints, Covaxin will be available only for those who are due for second doses.

Corporation Joint Commissioner (Health) Alby John Varghese said the temporary vaccination centres would decongest the primary health centres and urban community health centres.
Owing to huge crowding in primary health centres, the civic body has planned to launch such vaccination centres. “You can call them mega vaccination centres. Each centre should vaccinate at least 500 people per day,” said Mr.Varghese.
