Chennai, Jan 22 : Tamil Nadu Health Minister C.Vijayabaskar was on Friday administered the Covaxin jab at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital.

"I got my covaxin shot! Thanks to the team @gmcrgggh for the seamless experience.
Appeal everyone to do it when your turn comes. Let's end #Covid19 together," Vijayabaskar tweeted.
