Free vaccine for the people of the state Karnataka

There is now debate about vaccine rates. “Our government has borne the cost of the COVID test and the cure, and we are committed to vaccinating everyone in the state for free.”

Over the past ten days since I took over the health account, there has been a significant decrease in the incidence of coronavirus infection and COVID mortality. Some people are skeptical about this. We haven’t done any work to differentiate the numbers. He said that the World Health Organization had commended the Karnataka government for being very transparent.

Other factors

  • Vaccine is still under trial. So the vaccine rate is not discussed. AstraZaneca claims the company is not vaccinating for profit.
  • COVID did not give any wrong information in the statistic. The World Health Organization also appreciates the information provided by our government is transparent.
  • Must comply with COVID precautionary measures during the winter months of November, December and January.
