Whether it is a lack of opportunity or vaccine hesitancy, the civic authorities are, at the very least, making a massive effort to get these persons to take the vaccine and close the gap for the jab

It is called closing the gap, in local parlance. That is just what the civic body aims to do with it stating ambitiously that it is going all guns to see that no Mumbaikar is left unvaccinated. In yet another twist to the vaccination tale, the civic authorities want to see that all housing society residents are fully vaccinated. To ensure that, they plan to assign special days for vaccination for housing societies.
Recently, the BMC also released stickers which stated: fully vaccinated society. We have to applaud the various methods the civic authorities are trying, to ensure as much vaccination as possible. From mobile vaccination vans for seniors, special days for women who may have been left behind in the vaccine race, to, now, the housing society initiative. This shows that they may get criticised, things may not always go to plan, or there may be drawbacks, but there is no let-up.
