The vaccination drive for adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years is going at a slow pace with only 12,000 being vaccinated a day over the past 12 days, as opposed to the daily target of 35,000 beneficiaries.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has set a target to vaccinate 9.22 lakh adolescents. So far, 1.47 lakh doses of the vaccine have been administered to this age group with less than 8 per cent given at private centres. Meanwhile, the second dose for this age group will start on January 31.
