Two shopping malls in the city will start vaccination on their premises on Wednesday. Recipients can drive in or walk in without booking a slot.
South City Mall on Prince Anwar Shah Road will begin a drive-in vaccination while Acropolis Mall will offer walk-in vaccination. AMRI Hospitals will provide vaccinators and doctors, apart from the doses.

Many who have a mental block in visiting clinics to take the jab could find it easier to get vaccinated at a place they have visited multiple times before, said a Calcuttan.
