The demand for booster doses of the vaccination sharply increased as the number of Covid-19 cases increased across the nation. According to the data released, out of the target of 12,84,305 people, a total of 12,50,425 people have successfully received their second doses and there are no active cases in Ballari as on 23 Dec 2022.
However, in light of the rising number of Corona infected individuals in China, the state government has recently also implemented the required precautions in the districts. As a precaution, Bellary and Vijayanagar districts are receiving national and international visitors for business and tourism, so the district health department has taken action to expedite the covid vaccination and booster dose vaccine to stop the spread of corona infection.
9.89 lakh district residents between the ages of 18 and 59 were to receive booster doses, according to the health department. Only 1.77 lakh individuals have, however, gotten the booster dose yet. In addition, 70,874 persons have received vaccinations as opposed to the aim of 1.23 lakh for those over 60. The process of administering booster doses is currently being accelerated against the backdrop of the corona infection resurfacing.
But the initial enthusiasm to have the vaccination has given way to reluctance to receive the booster dosage. The health department has taken initiatives to encourage people to receive a booster dose in this regard by raising awareness among them.
In the past 24 hours, out of the around 3,714 fresh cases registered across the country, around 230 were registered in Karnataka. The reason for this spike could be attributed to the BA.4 and BA.5 sub-lineages of the Omicron variant.
The Karnataka health department is adopting a number of containment measures in light of the growing spread. Additionally, experts have recommended running genome sequencing studies and enforcing masks once more. Basavaraj Bommai, the chief minister, had earlier addressed the populace, urging them to avoid needless worry and pledging that the government will take appropriate action to stop the spread.
The district has accelerated booster dose vaccination as a preventative measure to stop the spread of infection since the worry of an epidemic corona infection is back. The health agency is additionally prepared to enhance tests.
