Over 7.25% of Karnataka’s total adult population of 4.7 crore has been fully vaccinated so far, and 37.1% have got at least one dose. The wide difference between the two categories is attributed to frequent changes in policy and frequent revision of the prescribed gap between the two doses. The State, which is one of the six in the country where vaccination has crossed two crore doses, had administered 1,80,84,358 first doses and 35,32,165 second doses till Saturday. Although the short supply of vaccines has been posing a challenge to the government, health officials said Karnataka’s coverage is higher than the national average of 5%. On Saturday, several vaccination centres reported a shortage of vaccines and displayed “no vaccine” boards.With the Prajwal Revanna sexual abuse case taking new twists every day, JD(S) State president and former Chief Minister H.D.
