The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided that people between the age group of 18 and 45 years will get the vaccine only at privately-run vaccine centres. While the BMC will start 227 additional centres for vaccination, it has not yet been decided whether to allow people below 45 years here.

Currently 63 centres are run by civic and government hospitals and there are 73 privately run centres. In addition, the BMC has received applications from 26 private centres seeking permission for vaccinations. The corporation has appealed to private centres to apply for permission so that more centres can be included for vaccination.
