SHOT OF PATIENCE: People wait to get inoculated with a Covid-19 vaccine at the North Bengal Medical College and Hospital on the outskirts of Siliguri on Monda MUMBAI: Public centres grappling with vaccine shortage have hundreds lining up daily while private hospitals sitting on thousands of doses have few takers. This paradox has prompted civic authorities to explore the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) route through tie-ups with private facilities, corporates and NGOs to broaden immunisation coverage in slums. Guardian minister Aditya Thackeray, who chaired a meeting on Monday with commissioner IS Chahal, said the corporation must explore such avenues. The BMC has not been able to procure vaccines on its own despite floating tenders. “Efforts should be made to make vaccine stocks available through NGOs as well as corporate social responsibility funds,” said Thackeray, adding that awareness campaigns for those who want to take a second dose should be undertaken too.
