The Kozhikode Corporation has shut down the vaccination centre at Tagore Centenary Hall, which was operational in the city for more than a year, as the demand for COVID jabs has come down considerably. The camp had set a record by dispensing the maximum number of doses in the State, as per the data available on the Central government's CoWIN portal.
As many as 2,00,313 doses of vaccines were distributed through the centre, which also holds the record for dispensing the maximum number of jabs in a single day—3,069 shots on November 23, 2021.
The vaccination camp at Tagore Centenary Hall started on March 25, 2021, following the directions from the State government to the local bodies. Even though other local bodies wrapped up their centres in a few days, the Kozhikode Corporation continued this camp for a year, catering to people from different parts of the district, including expatriates.
