Mumbai gets 1 lakh+ doses, to help speed up drive

MUMBAI: The city received 1.15 lakh doses of Covid-19 vaccine, that will help speed up the drive from Monday.

Mumbai on Saturday saw a bumper turnout as more than 2 lakh people got vaccinated at public and private centres. BMC executive health officer Dr Mangala Gomare said 1,15,000 vaccine doses had come from the state. Vaccination will be held through walk-ins at community level centres on Monday.

Private centres on Sunday vaccinated nearly 21,000 people. Additional municipal commissioner Suresh Kakani said Saturday’s feat of over 2 lakh vaccinations was because centres were told to vaccinate as many as possible. A day after the state record of vaccinating more than 9 lakh people in a day, less than 2 lakh got jabs on Sunday.
