I personally got the immunization vaccine administered to emphasize the vaccine\u2019s safety\u00a0and efficacy. I am truly elated that the health workers who have already got vaccinated against COVID 19 are responding well to the vaccination too. Once the beneficiaries get their first dose of vaccine, they are still required to maintain all COVID 19 safety measures like wearing mask and sanitising their hands and diligently come for their second dose of vaccination without missing it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Mr Ravi Pachamoothoo, Chairman, SRM Hospitals<\/strong>, said, \u201cIt brings me great pride that SIMS Hospitals is part of this historic effort and has joined India\u2019s biggest immunization drive against COVID 19 with \u2018Covishield\u2019 Vaccine. I feel proud to mention that SIMS Hospital has treated more than 3500 COVID patients in the past 10 months. Now, I am happy to share that\u00a0eminent Doctors, Heads of Departments, including myself were among the first to take the Covishield Vaccine at SIMS.\u00a0We sincerely thank the Tamil Nadu Government and the Central Government for giving us this opportunity to benefit a lot of people to get back to their normal lives and help them regain their livelihood\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. J.
