Citizens above 45 years will be given preference along with those requiring the second dose when supply is restored: BMC
Vaccination against COVID-19 in Mumbai will be suspended till May 2 as the city has run out of stock and has not received adequate supply of vaccines, a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official said on Thursday. The civic body clarified that vaccination for the 18-44 age group, which is due to begin on May 1, will be postponed due to shortage of doses. It also added that those above 45 years will be given preference along with those requiring the second dose when supply is restored in the city. “Around 63 government and 73 private centres are being used for vaccination in Mumbai. Due to inadequate supply, the administration is planning daily vaccination based on availability. With no supply, vaccination has been put on hold. We will not be able to go ahead for the next three days,” the civic official said.More Related News
