Mumbai students, who are scheduled to leave for foreign universities to pursue their studies, have expressed their happiness over the state government's decision of prioritising their Covid-19 vaccination and the Centre's guideline to reduce the mandated gap between two doses of the Covishield vaccine.

Sanjay Rajpal, an aspiring engineer who took admission in Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, United States told ANI that the approval for administering the second dose of vaccine after 28 days in emergency cases instead of 84 days for Covishield will be a boon for students looking forward to traveling abroad this year.
