For the fifth time since June 21, vaccination centres will remain shut today due to acute shortage that the city has been facing for a long time. Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials said that they would resume the drive on receiving adequate stock and citizens would be informed accordingly.

‘Centres will be opened when new stock arrives'

However, private centres will conduct vaccinations on Wednesday. Due to the shortage, centres have remained shut on June 21, July 1, 9 and 10.
