With the fear of the third wave looming, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) is leaving no stone unturned to fully vaccinate its population. About 75 per cent (8.22 lakh) of the city’s 11 lakh adult population has received the first dose and 28 per cent (2.99 lakh) the second shot. Of those who have received the first dose, 56 per cent is in the 18 to 45 years group. The civic body is now focusing more on administering second doses so that it can fully vaccinate the majority of the population.

As the second wave of the pandemic has receded in the city, daily cases have come down to about 40-50 per day. Navi Mumbai has 708 active cases, of which 30 are admitted in the corporation’s ICU facility at CIDCO Exhibition Centre.
