In the wake of rising cases for COVID-19 in the last few days, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday instructed Deputy Commissioners to raise the average vaccination coverage of the first and second dose to the level of State average by the end of the month in districts which are lagging below the state average.
According to data available with the Health and Family Welfare Department, the State average for first dose vaccine coverage as on January 18, was 99.6% and 83.3% for second dose. About 62% of those between 15 and 17 years have been provided vaccination.
