With corporators and private parties demanding their venues, used for vaccination centres, back, the BMC is shifting to vans—mobile as well as stationary. The corporation had 296 vaccination centres in the city, which has now reduced to 270 and will further reduce in the next few days. BMC officials admitted that they are getting requests to return the venues, but added that the centres will not be closed without review. 

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had roped in social welfare centres, private halls to start the vaccination drive and reach out to the general public. But as the drive nears completion and the city has almost opened up, the demand to get the venue back has gathered momentum.
