BENGALURU:
Karnataka on Monday became the first state in the country to administer Covid-19
vaccines to over two lakh people ever since the
inoculation drive was launched on January 16. On Monday alone, the state administered the vaccine to 32,000
healthcare workers.
To boost the vaccination drive, health officials will focus on districts with low vaccination coverage and identify reasons that are preventing healthcare workers from taking the vaccine. “There seems to be some apprehensions among healthcare workers in the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada. We will visit these districts to understand the situation on the ground and devise strategies,” health minister
K Sudhakar said.
