As Mumbai is on alert with Cyclone Tauktae predicted to cause very heavy rains, the civic authorities have suspended the vaccination programme for Monday, and the special drive would be now held from Tuesday to Thursday.
“In view of the warning of high intensity cyclone issued by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the vaccination programme scheduled for Monday stands cancelled. The revised schedule will be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,” municipal commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal said.
He also said that as the central government has advised a gap of 12 to 18 weeks between two doses of Covishield, no one except healthcare workers and frontline workers will be eligible for second dose of Covishield as vaccination for the other categories commenced only on March 1.

Expressing regret that despite being the largest producer of vaccines in the world things have fallen apart in India, Ashok Seth, a Padma Bhushan awardee and chairman of Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, has said that the focus needs to be on percentage and not the number of population vaccinated.
“With a 1.2 billion population we cannot say we can vaccinate X number of people. Herd immunity comes in when a large percentage of population is vaccinated…till 70% population is vaccinated,” said Dr Seth.
