It was an emotional moment for healthcare worker Shankar Gosavi, from K East ward’s health department. “Even though I have been waiting since 10 am in the queue to get vaccinated and it is nearly two hours later now, this wait is nothing compared to the wait I had to endure during the peak of the pandemic.” 

Gosavi said that, due to fear of infecting his family, he would stay at the BMC office and not go home for days. “I was never skeptical or had any doubts about getting vaccinated. It was only a matter of time and I am happy I managed it on the first day itself.”
