Inoculation drive to continue on Tuesday too as many people were eager to get the shot
The second phase of COVID-19 vaccination for all senior citizens and those aged above 45 with comorbidities, which began on Monday, was marred by technical glitches on the CoWIN portal. As a result, only 1,576 senior citizens and 374 persons above 45 years with comorbidities were vaccinated on day one in Karnataka.
The health department, which earlier decided to administer the vaccine only on alternate days, has now said the inoculation drive will continue on Tuesday too as many people were eager to get the shot.
