Repeating the demand made by the minister at the previous central level as well, Bommai is looking for 1.5 doses of crore for the country to raise vaccination drive.
However, the Health Minister Uni told him that 1.5 doses of Crore would be difficult to manage; Efforts will be made to supply 1 dose of Crore for August and increase the quantity later on.
