Amid chaos over the booking of appointment slots and their unavailability, the Covid-19 vaccination drive has landed at your doorstep. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has issued a detailed guideline, permitting housing societies and workplaces (private) to tie up with private hospitals/ Covid vaccination centres (CVC) to hold these drives on their premises, subject to the availability of stocks.
Hospitals / vaccine centre will have to ensure that all protocols are followed during the drive. These vaccines will come at a cost fixed mutually by the workplaces/housing societies with the private hospitals/ CVCs. While some housing societies are already in talks with the BMC, a few others are trying to set up their infrastructure.
