With not many takers for the booster doses, the Department of Health and Family Welfare in Mysuru launched a special weeklong vaccination drive on Friday. The drive concludes on July 22.
District Health Officer K.H. Prasad said the drive became necessary following a dull response to vaccination against COVID-19 after the drop in infection rate. The special drive aimed at expanding the vaccination coverage in 15-17 age group and 12-14 age group besides senior citizens.
As part of the drive, each ward in Mysuru city will have a vaccination booth where people can get the jabs the entire week.
