Following a letter by Karnataka Chief Secretary on June 7 seeking an opinion regarding the enforcement of two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for access to public areas, the State’s COVID-19 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has recommended that there is no need to enforce the mandate in the current epidemiological situation of COVID-19 in Karnataka.
The TAC has instead recommended the issue of an advisory on completing the course of vaccination and having the certificate. This is based on the recent Supreme Court order that said restrictions on unvaccinated individuals imposed through various vaccine mandates by State Governments and Union Territories should be done away with.
