Elders at the Rajawadi Hosp vaccination centre in Ghatkopar
MUMBAI: On the third day of the expanded vaccination drive including senior citizens and those above 45 with co-morbidities, crowd management remained an issue in some of the public centres. Gates of the Nesco jumbo hospital in Goregaon had to be closed before 4pm as hundreds were still waiting. “On-spot registration is leading to overcrowding and a solution is urgently needed,” said a doctor, adding that people have started queuing from 7am. “The software must be tweaked to provide specific time slots,” he said.
At the Mulund jumbo centre, there were over 100 senior citizens still waiting to be vaccinated at 4.50pm. One said he had been waiting since 12 noon and got vaccinated around 4.45pm. Suresh Kakani, additional municipal commissioner, said walk-in registrations have to run as not everyone has access to mobile phone or internet.

At a time when the vaccination drive in India has entered phase two, Bharat Biotech is awaiting a nod from the government to conduct vaccine trials in the paediatric population as well. This has suddenly started the debate whether this is the right time to conduct these trials.
Experts have warned that restarting Mumbai locals could spike the novel coronavirus cases. "Local trains can be super-spreaders and we must ensure masks are worn at all times and crowds are regulated, in whatever best way we can," Lancelot Pinto, Consultant Pulmonologist, PD Hinduja Hospital & MRC, said.
