Mumbai: In a bid to manage the crowds at vaccination centres as well as to tackle the vaccine shortage, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on Wednesday issued revised guidelines for citizens, under which specific days of the week have been assigned to the different age groups.
According to the notification, beneficiaries above the age of 60 years, people wanting the second dose of Covaxin or Covishield and differently-abled can now opt for on-the-spot
vaccine registration and walk-in directly at their nearest centres to get the jab.
Mumbai: With the COVID-19
vaccination drive operating at full pace, scores of Mumbaikars, who have already taken the first dose are now gearing up for their second jab.
However, a number of beneficiaries have raised doubts if they can take the second dose of the vaccine from a centre different from the one where they had taken the first one.
A netizen took to Twitter to inform Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (
BMC) officials that he was denied the second dose at a vaccine centre as he did not take the first jab there. He added that the centre turned down his request despite having an adequate stock of the vaccine.
