In a statement last Saturday, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said, "The Union government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will provide 10 million doses of covid vaccine to the state for the month of August.'' At the same time, he added, "The Centre has so far supplied 63-64 lakh doses of covid vaccine every month. I have demanded an increase in the allocation of covid vaccine supplements. Union Health Minister Mansukh L. Mandaviya has promised a maximum dose of vaccine for the state.''

Bommai further said, "He had demanded 1.5 crore doses from the Central government for the state. The Centre has supplied 63 to 64 lakh doses to the state though Karnataka is finding it difficult to allocate 1.5 crore doses of covid vaccine, he will do his best to provide 1 crore doses for the month of August.'' At the same time, he also said, "The Union Health Minister assured us that the supply will be increased in the coming months. I expect to get 1 crore covid vaccine doses so that 3 to 4 lakh vaccinations can be done every day in the State.''

Further CM Bommai also said, "In addition, Karnataka has been allocated Rs 800 crore from the Centre's Covid Emergency Fund. The Centre has already released 15 per cent of the fund.''
