As the city’s acute vaccine shortage continues, 94 centres remained non-operational on Sunday. However, in a positive development, the BMC received 1.58 lakh vaccine doses on Sunday and it has started distributing the stock among government and private centres. Civic sources said that this would help have a smooth vaccination drive for at least the next three days.

Meanwhile, as the stock of Covaxin is limited, those beneficiaries who need to be administered the second dose, are being given preference. The civic body has set up 59 vaccination centres and 73 private hospitals conduct the drive on their premises.
