Within a week of gaining momentum, the vaccination drive in the city is losing steam again.
Against around 19,000 vaccines a day towards the end of May, 12,086 persons were vaccinated on Thursday.
The drive had earlier begun on a bitter note with the administration being targeted for not being able to provide sufficient vaccines even when people were looking to get the jab.
After this, people were unable to get vaccines slots online and could do so only after several attempts.
With no walk-in facility, prior registration and scheduling of vaccine was a must.
Now, when vaccines as well as slots are available online, people lose interest.
Workers of political parties and other organisations have also been relaying information regarding sessions where slots are available.
Officials said that 20,000 persons of the 18-44 years age group can be vaccinated every day across 100 centres.
Apart from this, vaccination of other age groups is also continuing including second doses.
The fall in numbers has been more significant for the past couple of days.
