Five days after the Bombay Parsi Punchayet and Irani Zoroastrian Anjuman appealed to eligible community members to get vaccinated at B.D. Petit Parsee General Hospital offering free pick-up and drop services, they are yet to open the account.

BPP and Irani Anjuman announced their drive for Zoroastrians over the age of 60 years and those between 45 and 49 years with comorbidities on March 21. They asked COVID vaccine-seekers to call on one of their two helpline numbers for registration.
