Everyday, 400-plus vaccines are being supplied to each of the 198 wards in the city on priority and 80,000-90,000 people are being vaccinated daily. There is enough vaccine stock in the city, Gupta said, and requested people to get their jab at the nearest primary health centre. For those above 50 years, a special vaccination camp will be set up by BBMP, he said.

ನಿಮಗೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಲಸಿಕೆ ಪಡೆದಿರದಿದ್ದರೆ, ಲಸಿಕೆಗಾಗಿ ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ಹತ್ತಿರದ ಪ್ರಾಥಮಿಕ ಅರೋಗ್ಯ ಕೇಂದ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಿ.
Special Commissioner (Health) Randeep D said that at least the first dose of vaccination must be given to staff of commercial establishments, industries, hotels and restaurants, and offices (except those found medically ineligible). Staff working in establishments in highly populated areas with a large customer footfall should be vaccinated on priority, he said.
