Amid the waning second wave and increased emphasis on vaccination to counter COVID-19 better in future, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has planned to inoculate potential “superspreaders” like those working in pharmacies, hotels, bars, salons and other individuals who come in contact with many people daily. 
As part of this effort, the NMMC held a camp for auto and taxi drivers on Thursday.

The corporation is aiming to give at least one shot each to 8 lakh people above 45 years by the end of this month. Despite having 78 vaccination centres, its biggest hurdle so far has been erratic supply of doses. Inoculation of potential “superspreaders” is a part of its strategy to overcome the inadequate supply of vaccines. It had earlier vaccinated beggars and footpath dwellers.
