The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation’s stock of COVID vaccines has been exhausted since Monday. Though the civic body requested the state government to replenish its supply of vaccines last week, the former is yet to receive them. About 71 per cent of those who are eligible for the jab in the area under the civic body’s jurisdiction have received both doses.

“We don’t have any vaccines. Whenever we receive our supply, we will start vaccinating citizens again,” said Dr Ashwini Patil, medical health officer of the KDMC. Another official claimed, “We tried to get vaccines from neighbouring cities. But no one has sufficient stock. We don’t have a choice but to wait.”
