Beleagavi: With more than 70% of the BELOGIVA population after receiving at least one dose of Covid vaccine, officials at the Ministry of Health said they hope that if the vaccine is available, the remaining population will soon be vaccinated.
According to data available with the Department of Health and Family Welfare, the average state is 69.55%, while the BELIGAVI has recorded 70.07% until Wednesday.
So far a total of 25,32,394 people have been affixed and the target is 36.14,324.
However, this district was lagged behind in providing the second dose, registering only 16.5% compared to the average state of 23.81%.
The health department has so far given a second dose to 5,96,375 people.
Hukkeri Taluk has recorded the highest average, reaching 80% of the target, while Savadatti Taluk is under completing only half of the target.
Officials said that in the last 15 days, this district has received more than 11 doses of lakh and this helps speed up drive vaccination in each village.
Officials also said that reaching a 100% target might take time because they saw a lack of enthusiasm among the masses that had not been affixed.
Khanapur Taluk is above in achieving the second dose target, recording an average of 22% and has given the first dose to 75% of the eligible population.
The second dose of Raibag’s coverage is the lowest by registering only 9.7%.
This taluk is also one of the poor players in managing the first dose registering 62% of the total target.
IP IP Immunization Officer said: “We discuss the maximum number of people in the last 15 days because we received more than 11 doses of lakh.
But, when the supply is slow, more people show enthusiasm.
Now, when the supply is high, fewer people voluntarily come to Take vaccines.
We plan more drives to give them encouragement.
