- Vaccine hesitancy among educated a matter of grave concern
- No strain of new Omicron detected in Mysuru; high alert at borders
Mysore/Mysuru: Faced with the looming threat posed by the Omicron variant of COVID-19, the Department of Health and Family Welfare has been instructed to substantially increase the second dose coverage by the end of December. This is due to rampant vaccine hesitancy and in Mysuru alone more than two lakh people above 18 years — that is 35 percent of the population — have skipped the second dose.
