While the BMC coached 80-odd civic senior medical officers as master trainers, who will further train their hospital staff for the giving of the COVID-19 vaccine, those from private hospitals have not been trained yet. While the vaccine will mainly be given at civic-run hospitals, the BMC’s next move will be to cover private hospitals that are willing to serve as vaccination centres and have an employee strength of above 1,000.
