If you are aged above 18 and have taken the second dose of vaccine at least nine months ago, you will be able to get the booster dose at private vaccination centres from April 10, as per the Union Health Ministry’s announcement on Friday. The BMC, meanwhile, said that it is waiting for Centre’s direction and is ready to start administering the precautionary dose at all 125 civic vaccination centres too.

“We are waiting for the Centre’s guidelines. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation can start booster doses for adults from Monday. BMC’s 125 centres are ready for booster with enough vaccines. In addition, 150 private centres can also start booster doses, for which the cost has been decided by the government,” said Additional Municipal Commissioner Suresh Kakani.
