Vaccine shortage forces B'luru to focus on those due for 2nd dose By IANS | 1 Views
Bengaluru, May 13 : The Chief Commissioner of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), Gaurav Gupta, said on Wednesday that the civic body would focus on administering anti-Covid vaccine to those who are due for the second dose, given the shortage of vaccine supply in the city. Gupta told reporters that as there is a shortage of vaccines, priority will be given to those who are due for the second dose and to those above the age of 45 years. "Those between 18 and 45 years of age will be administered vaccine once there is an adequate supply of the same. So the youngsters need not throng the vaccination centres unless they already have a scheduled appointment," Gupta said after visiting the Dasappa Hospital near Town Hall where he reviewed the ongoing vaccination programme.
