Karnataka has scored poorly in investigating deaths following Covid-19 immunisation.

The Centre’s data shows that more than 30 per cent of severe adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) cases in the state resulted in deaths.

However, post-mortems were done only in seven of the 40 deaths reported till July 20. Further, the Union Health Ministry received case report forms and investigation forms only in 33 cases.

Pointing to the state’s poor record, the data revealed that verification of 155 cases was still pending with district immunisation officers. Surprisingly, in 17 per cent of the pending cases, the state is yet to receive case report forms (CRFs).
