Mumbai civic body to set up at least one drive-in vaccination centres in every administrative zone.
Even though Maharashtra tops the chart in the number of individuals receiving the double doses of COVID-19 vaccines, the inoculation has slowed down over the past week. Despite the shortage of vaccines, the overcrowding at vaccination centres in urban areas of the State, especially Mumbai and Thane, has triggered the fear of these centres turning into hotspots for COVID-19 infection. On April 26, Maharashtra recorded the highest number of vaccine doses administered, at 5,34,228. On the same day, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray congratulated health professionals and announced that the State had set up the infrastructure to vaccinate more than eight lakh citizens a day.
