About six lakh people in district yet to get second dose, says DMO
Health authorities in the district launched an intensive vaccination drive against COVID-19 on Tuesday. The drive will continue until February 15, said District Medical Officer R. Renuka.
Although the district achieved 96% coverage in the first dose of vaccination, only 73% had taken the second dose. Dr. Renuka said that about 6 lakh people in the district were yet to get the second dose of vaccine.
“We can complete the vaccination drive only by addressing those 6 lakh people,” said Dr. Renuka. She said that 56% of teenagers in the age group of 15-17 had accepted the vaccine. The intensive drive will cover the 15-17 age group also.
