Aiming to vaccinate a large swathe of the population as early as possible in the city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday issued a global bid to acquire one crore Covid-19 vaccines. Currently, the BMC gets Covishield and Covaxin vaccines from domestic manufacturers and from the Central and state governments.
âMCGM has resolved to make every possible effort in the future also, to acquire sufficient quantities of Covid vaccines to vaccinate all eligible citizens of Mumbai on a war footing in the next 60-90 days,â said BMC Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal.
