Karnataka to vaccinate students, those going abroad & Olympics-bound sportspersons from June 22

Karnataka deputy chief minister C N Ashwath Narayan on Sunday said vaccination for students, those going abroad for studies or work, and sportspersons bound for Tokyo Olympics would start June 22 at the city’s central college premises.

East zone Health Officer has been identified as the competent authority within the BBMP limits and the second dose of the vaccine for these groups would be given to those who have completed 28 days after receiving the first dose, Narayan said.

The competent authority is entrusted to verify the documents of those who come to get the vaccine, and also examine the information received from the beneficiaries in the self- declaration certificate form and issue the validation letters. The validation certificate needs to be uploaded onto the CoWin portal to get vaccinated.
