Further, a note issued by the Health Department read, “Deputy Commissioners at the district level and BBMP Chief Commissioner in BBMP (Bengaluru’s local municipal body) will be in charge of vaccination of this group. Workplace vaccination will be the mode of implementation.” Health officials have been directed to identify the Covid frontline workers and priority groups as announced by the state government and take up vaccination.
District administrators have also been given the charge of deciding on the number of vaccination sites and the number of doses to be administered each day “based on the availability of vaccines.”
