Covid-19 vaccination for the age group of 18-45 will not begin from May 1 in Bengaluru and rest of Karnataka as earlier announced, Health Minister Dr Sudhakar told reporters here on Friday. He asked those aged between 18 to 44 years to register on the Co-WIN portal and wait for the government to inform them once stocks arrive. Out of around 99.5 lakh doses, more than 95 lakh doses have been administered. Our vaccine wastage percentage is only 1.4 per cent. Yesterday, four lakh doses have arrived. I ve been informed that we have around six lakh doses with us, he said.

The ambitious Phase 3 Covid-19 vaccination drive which starts today is likely to hit some roadblocks as several states have expressed their inability to vaccinate all adults above the age of 18 years due to the shortage of vaccines.

Welcoming this as an inspirational campaign, Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar said it was time to publicise the need for covid vaccines. “During the first wave, there was
fear and anxiety among healthcare workers who would quarantine themselves in hotels for months by staying away from families. However, during covid 2.0, despite the high infectious rate, there is not much fear among the healthcare workers, and many are heading home after work. The vaccines have reinforced self-confidence.

The rising covid cases have spurred the State Government into action. The plan is to procure 40,000 portable oxygen units and to set up two covid care centres in each constituency in
Bengaluru.
Justifying the need for strict restrictions, Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar said that the number of cases had reduced to 3,000 per day in Mumbai after
curfew was imposed. “Curfew will reduce the spreading of infection. This is why our government has also decided to impose curfew. People should be careful and avoid unnecessary movement. Asymptomatic people should not step out and spread the infection,” said the Minister, adding that there was no question of hiding the Covid facts and figures.
