New vaccine guidelines issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on Friday have received flak from all corners.

The civic body released a circular, stating that it will allow walk-ins for those aged 45 years and above at various public vaccination centres from Monday to Wednesday. It further stated that all beneficiaries of second dose will also be allowed to do a walk-in without prior appointment. As a relief for many students looking to fly abroad to pursue higher education, the BMC made an exception and allowed them to get vaccinated at Kasturba Hospital, Rajawadi Hospital and Cooper Hospital from Monday to Wednesday. But this move has raised eyebrows among students.
