Senior citizens, health care workers and frontline workers arrived in good numbers as a total of 6,841 people received the precautionary dose of COVID-19 vaccine in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts on the first day of the drive that began on Monday. While 2,524 people received the precautionary dose in Dakshina Kannada, 4,317 received it in Udupi district.
A good number of senior citizens turned up to receive the precautionary dose at the AYUSH Block of the Government Wenlock Hospital in Mangaluru on Monday morning. One among them was 65-year-old K.R. Kamath. He was the first to receive a token after the Health Department staff verified if the beneficiary had received his second dose nine months ago.
As Mr. Kamath entered the vaccination room, Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra followed him along with Fisheries Minister S. Angara and Mayor Premanand Shetty. Dr. Rajendra enquired about the health and vaccination status of Mr. Kamath, before a senior staff nurse of Wenlock Hospital administered the precautionary dose.
