Mumbai: In an attempt to make the Covid vaccination drive smooth and hassle-free for all age groups in Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is considering the idea of implementing a system under which people could be directed to go to centres located in the municipal ward in which they reside, rather than vaccine-centre hopping across the city or to other districts for the purpose. This, sources said, is among several ideas the BMC is mulling at this stage, but the details of implementation are yet to be thrashed out.
