The BMC’s decentralisation move to make public vaccination centres available in every nook and cranny of the city has hardly been a hit among Mumbaikars. A majority of the Covid-19 vaccine beneficiaries are either heading to major or peripheral hospitals or private facilities.

Several citizens complained that most of the time they have to head back home as smaller public centres are either shut or they have run out of stock. Some said they turn away after standing in the queue for hours.
