What about those who got a Pfizer vaccination? A commuter from Dombivli came with a rather unique problem to Central Railway officials. She told them that she had been doubly vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine a month ago during her stay in Dubai and had a certificate that was internationally valid, but it was not valid on the suburban railway.

“It was a rare problem. We received all authentic documentation and papers about the commuter, who has now shifted base to Dombvli and would like to travel for work to CSMT. But, since there was no mention about it in the SoP, the local civic staff at the booth refused to acknowledge and hence she approached us,” a senior official said.
