Another 33 private vaccination centres will also be limited to administering second doses as they have limited stock. Hence, the civic body has appealed to people that only those who want to take the second dose should come for vaccination on April 29.
Moreover, due to shortage, the municipal corporation and state government has also clarified that vaccination for people between the age of 18-44 will not begin on May 1.
