The civic body said that the vaccination process will resume on Saturday as a fresh stock of vaccines is expected to arrive on Thursday night and will be distributed in all the publicly operated centers the next day.
In late July, the BMC also launched a door-to-door vaccination campaign for beneficiaries who are bedridden due to medical or physical ailments and so far, it has mostly gone smoothly.
Earlier in the day, the Union Health Ministry said that over 57.88 crore vaccines have been provided to states and union territories so far, and another 18,62,530 doses are in the pipeline.
