It was a shot in the arm, quite literally, for Worlikars as a vaccine centre opened at Worli village or Worli gaon on Thursday morning.
The jab is being given at the Koliwada Welfare Centre, which has a registration counter on the ground floor. Vaccines are being administered at the Municipal Dispensary Hall on the first floor. The Worli village is located at one end of the Worli Sea Face, near the entrance and exit of the Bandra Worli Sea Link. Corporator Hemangi Worlikar said, “We had plans for the centre roughly a month ago. This was so necessary as we have a substantial older demography in Worli village. Some of them, though I would not say all, were struggling to access centres in Worli, so this is literally at their doorstep now.” Worlikar said the area has a medical team, and “we also have volunteers, community workers, everybody has come together to see that this project works. Yesterday, on the first day, we had 200 plus people taking the jab, so we are letting the numbers do the talking for us.”
