Mysuru district administration issues diktat following complaints of some centres administering first dose despite many are for their second dose of COVID-19 vaccine
Acting on the complaint of some government vaccination centres in the district administering the first dose of vaccine, differing the government’s guidelines, the Mysuru district administration on Friday issued a strict diktat to the people in charge of vaccination to confine the jabs only to those who are due for the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Despite knowing that several are due for their second dose, some centres, including the urban health centres here and the primary health centres in the taluks, administered the first dose in the offline mode. From Saturday onwards, Covishield and Covaxin vaccines should be administered only to those who are due for their second dose. There should not be any deviation of any kind on this, the health authorities have been told.More Related News
