COVID-19 vaccination: Women lag behind in Karnataka
The Hindu
Tendency among women not to prioritise their own health among factors, say experts
Women are lagging behind in getting vaccinated in Karnataka by nearly 1.5 lakh, though they outnumbered men in the first phase when inoculation was open only for healthcare and frontline workers. This mimics the national trend where 9,12,85,344 men have been vaccinated against 7,91,57,070 women. According to data from the Co-WIN portal, 56,31,821 men and 54,87,031 women have been vaccinated till Tuesday. Till late April, women had outnumbered men and officials had attributed this to the greater female workforce at the grassroots compared to male workers.
