Mangaluru: Vaccination programme on hold for two days as stock exhausts


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, May 7: As the stock of coronavirus vaccine in the district has been exhausted, vaccination programme will be put on hold for two days in Dakshina Kannada district. The vaccination camps will not take place at the district Wenlock Hospital, urban primary health centres, primary health centres, community health centres and taluk hospitals for two days. District health department officials said that the campaign will resume once the stock of vaccine is replenished.

Shortage of vaccine is bothering the district at a time when the pandemic is spreading faster. On Thursday, the district had stock of only 500 doses of Covishield vaccine and by 12 noon, the stock was exhausted in hospitals. Those who came in later returned home disappointed.

As many as 1,000 doses of the Covaxin vaccine is expected to be received in two days. Those who have completed 42 days since the first dose was administered, will be given preference in vaccination. Covishield vaccine too is expected to be received in two days. The health department has made it compulsory to register online for getting vaccinated. For the rural people, this poses a problem. Many were sent back after they visited the vaccination centres without having advance information about this condition.

    If the administration is not able to arrange for medical facilities then it is a moral responsibility to resign and let someone else manage the situation.

    Our Prime Minister is least concerned about India and more concerned about other countries.

    If Rahul Gandhiji was the prime minister of this country. Then all the hospitals would have sufficient stock of vaccines in fact overstock. Covid would have been wiped out from this country. Because Rahul Gandhiji is the only one who can do it. He is a very able, thinking and progressive leader of all the leaders.

    Mr. Karkera, Attavara. You can call me dumb, you can mock me. But I am not blind. I can foresee future. Rahul Gandhiji is the only leader who can save us. Let us join together and make Rahul Gandhiji the prime minister of our country.

    Yesterday in one of the news the health officials have said that Covaxin second dose can be taken after three months.Giving wrong information just because they dont have stock is a crime.This vaccine has to be taken in 4-6 weeks earlier the better as stated by the co.

    DC is very much intelligent. So he has already confirmed even if the second dose delayed beyond 56 days doesn't matter saying. All over India this goverment doesn't have a proper system. How can DC so easily can make a press conference about the vaccine dose. When they are incapable to supply on time try to find a excuse. People have to trust these monkeys. They do not have vaccines for first dose and how will they provide second dose on time?
