After an increase in the vaccination numbers on Tuesday, the city saw a dip once again on Wednesday as many private centres ran out of stock. According to the BMC, previously 45 private hospitals were administering shots, but now the number has come down to 37. This in turn brought down the number of inoculations from 70,000 to 50,000. However, private hospitals have managed to procure Sputnik V and 667 beneficiaries received its first dose on Wednesday.

After three days of allowing walk-ins at various centres, the civic centres will now vaccinate people through scheduled appointments.
