Following the fake vaccination scam that has affected hundreds of Mumbaikars, the civic body has revised the guidelines for housing societies to conduct vaccination camps. In a circular issued recently, the civic body has mandated that societies wishing to conduct camps will have to inform the ward office and the police three days before the drive. In addition, one police personnel will have to be present at the camp during the drive to ensure there are no irregularities.

Private hospitals that societies are tying up with will have to be registered on CoWIN and their registration will have to be verified by ward officials before the drive. The order also states that societies will have to enter a Memorandum of Understanding and get the ID cards of hospital representatives checked during the drive.
