COVID-19: BMC allows 24x7 vaccination in Mumbai, targets 75,000 shots every day BySumitra DebroySumitra Debroy / Updated: Mar 10, 2021, 06:53 IST (This story was first published in the Times Of India on March 10, 2021) Mumbai: The BMC on Tuesday gave blanket permission to hospitals to carry out 24x7 vaccination drives provided they have the resources. The decision came on a day when hundreds of senior citizens waited for hours in line as Co-Win abruptly stopped working at several centres, bringing the drive to a halt. Due to the glitch, vaccination numbers for the city were only marginally higher than Monday. A total of 43,581 were immunised, up from Monday’s count of 40,502. Majority were senior citizens (30,624); the next biggest lot were healthcare workers (6,356), followed by people above 45 years and with co-morbidities (3,877), and 2,724 frontline workers.
