As Covid-19 cases are going up, Mumbaikars are running to get jabs. The vaccination figures in the city went up by 24 per cent in the first 21 days of this month as compared to May. The state, however, is still lagging as compared to the figures from May.

A civic health official said, “After the third wave, there was a sharp drop in the vaccination figures. We are continuously appealing to people to take the second and precautionary dose. We are also asking parents to bring their kids for vaccination, but the response was low. But now that cases have surged, people are coming forward for vaccination.”
