Fifty-one Covid-19 vaccination centers in Mumbai were closed on Friday amid a shortage of doses in the city. Some of the operational centers were likely to declare they are out of stock during the day and close their operations, they added. Effectively 69 vaccination centers were working in the city on Friday morning.

Mumbai has 120 vaccine centers, which have been conducting over 200 sessions daily.

Assistant Commissioner Kiran Dighavkar tweeted late on Thursday: “Vaccination centers which will be operational in Mumbai on 9 April [Friday], 2021. However, due to limited stock, this might exhaust at early, and few centers will be declared out of stock.” Dighavkar added all centers will start vaccinations at full capacity as soon as possible.

On Thursday, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation vaccinated 56,909 people. As many as 51,433 received their first doses, and 5476 the second.

To be sure, while overall supplies may be there at the state level, individual centers may run out of stock on account of how the states manage their replenishment.
