The BMC will get 75,000 doses of Covishield from the state government on Thursday, thus paving the way for uninterrupted vaccination at least for a few days at government- and civic-run centres. Officials said this would be possible after a circular allowing for vaccinations only with prior appointment comes into effect on Friday.

The civic body is still waiting for stock for the age group of 18-44 years. Owing to the priority given to beneficiaries waiting for their second dose, over 41,000 people got it on Thursday. Suresh Kakani, additional municipal commissioner, said, “Once we get additional doses, we will be able to start three more vaccination centres for the age group of 18 to 44.”
