Working towards its goal of vaccinating the city’s entire population with at least one dose by the end of September, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has managed to give a single shot to 93 per cent of its citizens till date. Of the 10.80 lakh adult population, 10.03 lakh have received their first jab. The authorities said that if they receive adequate stock, they will be able to achieve their target.

Meanwhile, about 43 per cent of the entire population has been fully vaccinated till now. “We have 100 vaccination centres ready to administer the maximum number of doses in a day. Recently we vaccinated 35,000 citizens in a day. If we get an adequate number of doses, we can accelerate the vaccination drive and give 50,000 doses per day,” said an NMMC health department official. “Currently, the daily vaccination numbers vary due to an uneven supply,” he added.
