MUMBAI: The city reached the milestone of administering 20 lakh vaccine doses on Monday since the Covid inoculation drive started in January. However, vaccination numbers remained low for the second consecutive day due to shortage of doses.
On Monday, as many as 31 private centres couldn’t administer a single dose as they had run out of vaccine stocks. Several public hospitals were hit too. At R N Cooper Hospital in Juhu, for instance, only those coming for their first doses were given the jab. Many dropping in towards the latter half of the day were asked to visit later. Mumbaikars have also been facing difficulty to book appointments for a second dose on Co-Win, although people are getting the vaccine when they walk into the centres directly.
