On Sunday the officials reported that the first batch of 13.90 lakh doses of Covid-19 vaccines that will be delivered to Karnataka will be Covishield , as the state was all set to receive the shipments expected to arrive on Monday.
The first batch will be the vaccine developed by the Serum Institute of India,” said Dr Rajani Nageshrao, Deputy Director, Immunisation, adding the government has only been contacted by the Serum Institute and not Bharat Biotech which has developed Covaxin.
Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar, who carried out final inspections of vaccine storage facilities on Sunday, said he expected the vaccination drive to last several months.
Healthcare workers will be given the first priority for the vaccine. It will take atleast about 2 months to vaccinate the public,” Dr Sudhakar said.
About 11.34 lakh doses will be stored at the state’s primary vaccine stores in Bengaluru and the remaining 2.5 lakh doses will be stored at the secondary vaccine store in Belagavi and further distributed to eight district vaccine stores.
From Belagavi, they will be sent to 29 block vaccine stores and 671 cold-chain points in Bagalkot, Gadag, Koppal, Vijayapura, Dharwad, Haveri and Uttara Kannada districts.
Supplies to the remaining 22 districts will be made from the Bengaluru State Vaccine Stores.
