Doses of Covaxin finally arrived in the city. The BMC was handed the first consignment on Saturday and the civic administration received 47,000 doses. The distribution will begin from Monday and five municipal vaccination centres will be offering the doses. Private hospitals will have to wait a little longer. Interestingly, even as the government had earlier mentioned that citizens will not be able to choose between the two vaccines, the BMC has said that citizens will be allowed a choice on the CoWIN portal. This, said civic officials, should be visible on the app by mid week.
