Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 2 (ANI): Amid a shortage of COVID-19 vaccine doses in the state, the vaccination drive in Mumbai will resume for three hours at a limited number of its centres, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said on Friday.
BMC said that the COVID vaccination will take place only from 2 pm to 5 pm at a limited number of its centres in Mumbai today.
In Mumbai, Covaxin will be given only for the second dose and Covishield to only people above 45 years of age, it says. The centres will accept 50 per cent online appointments and 50 per cent on-spot registration.
The vaccination drive will remain suspended in Mumbai on Thursday due to a shortage of stocks.
In a tweet, the BMC said, "Dear Mumbaikars, please note that all BMC and Government vaccination centres will remain closed tomorrow (July 1, 2021). We apologise for the inconvenience. Please watch this space for updates regarding vaccination centres and schedules."
Earlier, in the month of April and May, the vaccination drive was frequently suspended due to the shortage of vaccines.
However, Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan on Thursday informed that a total of 12 crore doses of COVID-19 vaccines will be made available in July to the country and urged state leaders to not create panic.
He said that states have already been informed in advance about COVID-19 vaccine supplies for July.
India has administered around 33.57 crore vaccine doses so far under the ongoing nationwide vaccination drive. (ANI)

TMC's jibe at Centre amid LPG crisis due to West Asia conflict

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage. The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
