With the distribution of Covaxin starting from Monday at five of the municipal vaccination centres, about 920 of its doses were utilised on Day 1 itself out of the 47,000 doses that the civic body had received.

Civic officials said that it was a good response and mainly walk-in beneficiaries were given these doses. So far, a total of 6,47,684 beneficiaries have been inoculated in the city so far and to facilitate more numbers, the BMC is planning to activate more hospitals as vaccination centres.
