Vaccination Drive in Tamilnadu and Chennai Metro Regions:

The second wave of COVID-19 has gripped the country and we all need to come together in order to put the pandemic behind us. The best contribution we can all make together in these trying times is to get everyone vaccinated as soon as possible.

Sri Sathya Sai Organisation-TN and Metro region formed tie-ups with the local District Medical offices to accelerate this vaccination drive which would eventually help in the reduced infection spread and faster recovery without any fatalities. This model works on a platform of procurement to deployment, awareness to mobilization, registration to inoculation with support of multiple stakeholders.


The camps conducted by our organisation bridges an important but unexpressed gap in state work. Though state has been doing impressive work but still doubts linger among people. With our organisation associating with this medical service, more doubtful people are made to take the vaccine plunge.

Another important aspect is our organisation reaches out to people who are immobilised due to age, morbidity and distance. This is so because we view bringing people to the camp site as another service to society. We also maintain social distancing protocols more rigorously.

Jai Sairam
