Vaccine hesitancy in Mysuru as over 2 lakh skip second dose
The Hindu
63.64% have got their second dose while 92% have been administered the first dose
Vaccine hesitancy in Mysuru has become a worrying factor for the district administration as over two lakh people have skipped their second dose of vaccination for no reason after completing 84-day gap from the first dose. As many as one lakh people who are delaying their second dose are from Mysuru city alone.
There used to be long queues before the vaccination centers here barely two months ago but now people are not ready to take their second dose even though the health workers are going to their doorsteps to vaccinate them.
“It’s indeed worrying as people have become hesitant to vaccinate. I am urging them to become responsible and get themselves vaccinated soon for theirs and also for others’ safety,” said Deputy Commissioner Bagadi Gautham.
