One-fourth of the housing societies in the city received fully vaccinated certificates. The city has over 37,000 societies of which around 10,000 got the tag.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation started the initiative to label housing societies on October 5 in a bid to create awareness, increase the rate of vaccination and to reach out to more people. As part of the move, societies where all residents aged above 18 years are fully vaccinated are declared as fully vaccinated and given a logo to be displayed on the gate. The logo, which was unveiled on October 4, has a QR code that lists vaccination centres in the area.
