The vaccine was rolled out by the Union Government in coordination with States across the country on January 16. However, the response has not been desirable in the district, according to officials.
From January 16 to till date, the number of health workers vaccinated in the first phase and the frontline workers in the second phase is around 35,000, according to conservative estimates from the District Immunology Department.
