Vaccination of health workers at Shatabdi Hospital, Kandivli MUMBAI: More women healthcare and frontline workers have taken the Covid-19 vaccine in the state than their male counterparts till date. As the state crossed 6 lakh vaccinations on Thursday, data revealed that 56% of the recipients were women.

Over 3.4 lakh are women recipients and 2.6 lakh are men. The state has nearly 11 lakh healthcare workers registered for vaccination, the highest in the country.
