Bengaluru, Jan 11: The state health department is awaiting response from the Centre on the distribution, timing and administration of Covid-19 vaccination doses.
The demand for Covid-19 vaccines in Karnataka is increasing evidently due to the rise in the number of people infected with the disease in the neighbouring countries. Against this backdrop, the state health department has requested the Centre to dispatch 30 lac booster doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. But, the state government has so far not received any response from the Centre, state health department officials said.
Dr Rajani, deputy director of State Health Department said there was no response as yet from the Centre regarding the quantity of dispatch of Covid-19 vaccines and about the timing of administering it.
With the number of Covid-19 cases rising in China, US, Japan and South Korea, the government had taken several steps anticipating another wave in December.
