Karnataka’s BJP government has deferred Covid-19 vaccination for the people between 18 and 44 years of age until fresh stocks of the doses arrive.
Karnataka health minister K. Sudhakar on Friday said those who become eligible for Covid-19 jabs on May 1 would have to wait for some time since the state did not have sufficient stock of vaccines.
“We are requesting people of Karnataka, especially those above 18 and up to 44 years, to refrain from going to hospitals thinking that you may be vaccinated tomorrow (Saturday). We will definitely update them after receiving confirmation from the Serum Institute of India (SII),” he said.
