Navi Mumbai has reached the target of 100% vaccination of the first dose against Covid-19 to all the citizens above 18 years. Racing towards full vaccination, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has got half its population done with the second dose too.
According to NMMC, 11,07,233 residents have taken the first dose of Covid vaccine which has given the city 100.02% vaccination rate amongst the ones over 18 years of age. Out of these 5,76,567 have also taken the second dose, i.e. 52.08% of the eligible population.
Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar said, “It is certainly very comforting, especially in view of the third wave threat. We had gone all out with our efforts and active participation of the residents to complete the vaccination to avoid the third wave or at least to reduce the impact.”
