MUMBAI: With the mammoth immunization drive less than 48 hours away, the vaccination centres within the city’s medical colleges saw hectic last-minute preparations on Thursday. Most centres, where officials were eagerly waiting to download the CoWin application, were disappointed as it didn’t go live till late on Thursday evening. Beneficiaries have still not started getting text messages with date and time of vaccination.
Mumbai’s four medical colleges Sion, KEM, Nair and Cooper will handle the bulk of vaccinations. The vaccination centre at Parel’s KEM, set up on the second floor of the new hospital building, saw computers and internet connectivity being installed on Thursday. The entry and exit signages were being earmarked, even as vaccine FAQs sheets were being plastered on the walls. “We are already a designated vaccination centre for yellow fever, and we intend to use that experience,” said professor of community medicine Dr R S Kembhavi
