With only the government healthcare facilities vaccinating people in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi on Saturday, a total of 7,316 people aged 45 and above were jabbed in the two districts. While 4,572 were vaccinated in Dakshina Kannada, 2,744 received the vaccine in Udupi district.
Dakshina Kannada district nodal officer for vaccines, B.V. Rajesh, said as vaccine was in short supply, priority was being given to those who were awaiting their second dose. Only Covishield vaccine was being administered and the district was yet to receive stock of Covaxin.
Dr. Rajesh said government healthcare facilities have been asked to look into their database and send intimations to people who are due for their second dose.
