Bengaluru: Setting a deadline of July 7 to vaccinate all students above 18 years to facilitate reopening of colleges and resume physical classes, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan asked the vice-chancellors of universities to speed up vaccination.
“Students have to be vaccinated by July 7 as per the schedule of the vaccine drive and the VCs should try to ensure vaccination of all students by the said date and if required this could be extended by two to three days,” Narayan, who holds the higher education portfolio, told the vice-chancellors during a virtual meet.
