Bengaluru: On Thursday December 23, Health Minister K. Sudhakar has announced that Bengaluru Urban has become the State’s first District to attain 100 per cent Covid vaccination coverage.

This indicates that the whole population of the district has been fully vaccinated with two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, with the exception of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) area.

“Bengaluru Urban (excluding BBMP) has become the first district in Karnataka to achieve 100% second dose coverage. Congratulations to all the health workers and the district administration for this remarkable feat,” the Minister tweeted.

With the first dose, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has reached 91 per cent coverage of the City’s 9.1 million adult population. Other districts that have moved closer to 100 per cent coverage include Belagavi, Chikkaballapur, and Davanagere, which have covered 98 per cent of the eligible population with the first dose.
