Hyderabad: Even though Telangana tariffs (65%) are better than the national average (61%) in the coverage of the second dose vaccine Covid-19, 22 states and the United States have competed to explore the country in managing the second dose.
According to data, Telangana is ranked 23 in terms of the second dose coverage.
Two UTS – Lakshadweep and Andaman Islands and Nicobar – complete the coverage of two doses.
Only Madhya Pradesh is completing the coverage of a dose of 90% seconds among larger countries.
Andhra Pradesh’s neighbor completed 72% of the second dose coverage even though it did not complete the coverage of 100% of the first dose equipped with Telangana.
Health Minister T Harish Rao said even though many people in this country have taken the first dose of Covishield, they are still waiting for their second dose because of the duration between very long doses.
“We hope that the second dose coverage will increase significantly in mid-January,” he said.
According to the source of the Ministry of Health, there is a delay in stock availability in the early days, which also contributes to the second delayed dose interval.
“Many people believe they have immunity from one dose and that there is no need to take a second dose again because of the number of low Covid-19 cases.
We advise people like that that they must take second jabs too,” officials said.
