Karnataka in dark over financial burden of Covid jab

Express News Service BENGALURU: With just a few days left for the vaccine rollout in the country, the state government is still awaiting clarity on the financial burden. Like many states, Karnataka too is not sure as to what expense formula will be adopted for mass vaccination. Though states will receive the first round of vaccines through Government Medical Store Depots (GMSDs) for free, experts believe that there is still a lack of clarity on the other phases. States need to prepare for the next plan of action and need to see if they will have the capacity to handle the entire programme on their own especially at a time when they are cash-strapped, say experts. “It would be good to have clarity to ensure a smooth rollout of the vaccination programme. And also for planning, especially at the state level – as the cost is not insignificant,” said Bioethics researcher Dr Anant Bhan.
