A storage unit is up and running in Belagavi
BELAGAVI\HAVERI: Health officials in Belagavi have readied facilities to safely store Covid-19 vaccines, which are expected to arrive in January. Vaccine boxes from Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune will arrive at these facilities, which will then supply the shots to districts in North Karnataka.
Bagalkot, Dharwad, Gadag, Haveri, Karwar, Vijayapura and Koppal are among the places that will get supplies from Belagavi.
A district health official said a large storage unit with walk-in freezers and a cooler was ready and waiting for shipments. “We have also worked on protocols for sending vaccine boxes to other districts. Proper attention will be given to the smallest details and all care will be taken for handling and storing boxes,” a health official said.
