Less than 50 per cent of the targeted beneficiaries turned up for COVID-19 vaccinations in Andhra Pradesh on the second day of the nationwide drive on January 17. 
Although, the numbers were less than half of the turnout expected, the state still had the highest number of health workers vaccinated on the second day of the vaccination drive.
According to the Health department, only 13,036 healthcare workers got the COVID-19 vaccine administered across the state against the targeted 27,233 for the day. Across the country, only over 17,000 people got vaccinated in six states on Sunday.
The state reported only two cases of adverse events following the immunisation but nothing was serious, according to the Health Commissioner Katamaneni Bhaskar.
The officials in Andhra have identified 3.87 lakh frontline workers at across 332 locations in the state to administer the vaccine.
