Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has requested senior citizens not to stand in a long queue for Covid-19 vaccine.
BMC has released a statement which says there is a shortage of vaccine for now and it won’t be available at all places in enough quantity, however, people above 45 will get vaccines eventually.
“All senior citizens in Mumbai are kindly requested not to crowd or stand in long queues at vaccination centres. Vaccine is in short supply just for now and so not available at all places in enough quantity. But be rest assured that all 45+ years citizens will eventually get vaccinated,” tweeted Ashwini Bhide Additional Municipal in BM.
“Vaccination for the new age group will start only after enough vaccines are made available, and not exactly on 1st May,” tweeted Bhide.
She said senior citizens need not worry that they would be deprived of Covid shots when the new round of vaccinations began for all adults.
“Please wait till we have adequate vaccine stock and you can get your jab without having to stand in long queues. We will continue to put out more details. Please take care. Wear double masks at vaccination centres,” she tweeted, making it official that vaccinations will not begin for a wider group in India’s financial capital.
Ms Bhide asserted that the inoculation of those above 45 would continue even if it took longer.
