BENGALURU: After the
Kerala government recently announced free vaccines for the state, state Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar has hinted that Karnataka too could roll out the vaccine free of cost. Although he did not say this explicitly, the Health Minister said on Saturday, after a meeting with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, that a decision in this regard would be taken in the interest of the people. Karnataka has been offering free COVIDtests, free treatment since the beginning of the pandemic. We have so far tested 1.20 crore people free of cost. The Karnataka government is very proactive and committed. Between the Government of India and Government of Karnataka, either one of us will ensure that the vaccine will be taken care of in the interest of the people and that money is not a concern, Sudhakar said, answering a question on the rolling out vaccine for free.
