Vaccinations for people aged between 18 and 44 years will take off from Saturday but the state has received only three lakh doses for the programme, said Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday. He requested the ‘young and restless’ to be patient and wait for their turn as and when the supplies become available. Thackeray said this during an address on the eve of the state’s foundation day.
