As against the need of 6.5 crore doses, State has got about one crore doses in the last four months
Karnataka, which has placed orders for three crore doses of COVID-19 vaccines, may have to wait for months before the supply could be completed. In the light of the delay, available doses will be given to those aged above 45 years who are due for the second dose. Acknowledging the delay in supply, Chief Secretary P. Ravikumar indicated to reporters on Wednesday, “I cannot say how many days it will take. It may even take months.” Karnataka was not sure about the procurement of Russian vaccine Sputnik, and has sought clarification from the Centre if it can be procured, he added.More Related News
