NAVI MUMBAI: Nearly 9.5 lakh people in Navi Mumbai, which is almost 88% of the eligible population of the city, have been vaccinated with the first dose of Covid vaccine since the campaign kicked off mid-January.
Besides, over 4 lakh people, or 38% of the eligible population, have been administered with both doses of the vaccine.
With this, the NMMC claims to have covered more number of people with the first dose of Covid vaccine as compared to its neighbouring cities despite erratic vaccine supply. As of now, 13.58 lakh doses have been administered in the NMMC area, with priority being given to the underprivileged in the society. Between August 8 and 25 alone, over 1 lakh people were vaccinated in the city while another 94,000 beneficiaries were immunised thereafter.
