There will not be any vaccinations this Saturday and Sunday at the public vaccination centres. According to sources, this was decided to ensure that doses are given to senior citizens awaiting their second shots in a drive next week. 

However, along with HN Reliance and Nanavati, three other private hospitals have procured vaccine doses and started their long stalled vaccination drive. They include Kohinoor hospital, Criticare hospital and Kokilaben hospital. While the drive for the age group 18 to 44 years has been halted in public centres, it is going on at the private centres.
