If you have been using two different mobile numbers to secure a vaccine appointment, then don’t. The BMC on Saturday tweeted that appointments being booked from two different numbers for two doses have yielded beneficiaries with two first-dose certificates. It further appealed to citizens to not try this ‘jugaad’, but instead use the same mobile number to make appointments for both the doses.
The BMC’s tweet read: “Dear Mumbaikar, a gentle reminder. Always use the same number to book both the doses. Else you will land in another complication just having conquered one! Please DO NOT use different numbers to book the first and the second dose.”
