With the central government directing the state to increase the gap between two doses of the Covishield vaccine, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said on Tuesday that the same would be implemented within the next two to three days.

Senior citizens who have taken the first dose in the first week of March would have to take the second one in the third or fourth week of April. Meanwhile, there was a drop in the number of health care and frontline workers who took their second dose on Tuesday.
