Vaccinations for pregnant women will start from Monday in public centres. There are an approximate one lakh pregnant women in the city. However, the response from lactating mothers, who approximately number the same, for vaccines has been low. Even after one and a half months, only 3,463 of these women have been administered the jab.

The vaccinations for lactating mothers started on May 26 in Mumbai and the public centres registered 489 women on the first day. But the response has been dull thereafter. At least 49 lactating mothers received the doses on Wednesday.
