Even as many vaccination centres in Mumbai have shut due to vaccine shortage, the Balasaheb Thackeray Trauma Centre in Jogeshwari continues to inoculate people.

“We have no shortage here. We had a capacity of only 100 injections (of Covishield) per day since the beginning of the vaccination drive. However, we used to give a maximum of 200 injections per day — and never exceeded this quota. Other vaccination centres were giving  vaccinations at four times their quota, which could be the possible reason why they have run out of it,” said Medical Superintendent, Dr Pramod Nagarkar.
