Bengaluru Rural, Vijayapura achieve 100% second dose coverage; Kodagu, Gadag cover 98% population
Over 90% of the adult population in Karnataka is now fully vaccinated. Reiterating that it is still a challenging task for the State Health Department to cover the remaining population, officials said the second dose coverage slowed down in the last few weeks with the third wave showing a declining trend.
From 51% on November 16, second dose coverage in the State shot up to cross 80% on January 6. It took over a month for the State to cover another 10% and cross 90%. The first dose coverage has exceeded the target population of 4.89 crore. Officials said this is because the target population is only an estimate of the 2011 census.
