Mumbai Vaccine Shortage

People in Mumbai expressed unhappiness over the suspension of the Covid vaccine drive at civic and government-run centres on Thursday due to shortage of vaccines doses, and raised questions over the management of the inoculation programme.

The Covid vaccination drive will remain suspended in Mumbai today at the centres run by the city's civic body and the Maharashtra government due to the unavailability of a sufficient number of doses, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said

Coronavirus vaccination centres run by Mumbai's civic body will be shut today, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) announced on Saturday adding that the details for Monday will be shared by them on Twitter on Sunday.

Vaccination of the people above 45 years will not be conducted in Mumbai on Monday due to the shortage of vaccines, the city civic body said on Sunday.

Vaccination will be closed in Mumbai for three days starting today due to lack of vaccine, the Greater Mumbai Municipal Corporation has said. The scarcity will also push back the vaccination of 18-45 year-olds.

The vaccination of those between 18 and 44 will not start on May 1 (Saturday) in Mumbai because of the shortage of Covid jabs, a top official said today in tweets.

Scores of people were left disappointed, as many vaccination facilities in Mumbai, including those operated by the civic body, state government, private entities, remained non-functional on Wednesday due to unavailability of vaccines.

The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) on Wednesday announced that 40 out of 73 private COVID-19 vaccination centres in the city will remain closed on Thursday due to insufficient vaccines stock.

An appeal by Dr Trupti Gilada, an infectious diseases specialist from Mumbai, was widely shared on Tuesday - as the scale of the crisis - the lack of hospital beds, ever-increasing daily cases, shortage of vaccines and crucial drugs - becomes clear

More than 70 vaccination centres have shut down in Mumbai after running out of Covid vaccine doses.
