The shortage of vaccines has struck again after almost a week, due to which the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to suspend the vaccination drive for a day. “Due to insufficient stock of vaccines, the inoculation drive will not be held on July 1, 2021 at all government and municipal centres in Mumbai,” informed civic authorities. Wednesday saw a shortage of vaccines at many vaccination centres in the city and many smaller centres were shut.

“Citizens of Mumbai are constantly informed about the extent to which the stock of vaccines will be obtained and appropriate decisions are taken. Vaccinations will be resumed once vaccine stocks become available. A humble appeal is being made to the citizens of Mumbai to cooperate with the BMC administration,” read the official press statement of the BMC.
