The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has decided to conduct a special COVID-19 vaccination drive for divyangs (differently-abled) who are above the age of 18.
The sessions will take place at ward-wise selected health centres in the city every Friday, from 11 am to 2 pm, and the beneficiaries can take the jab by showing their identity card.
A special vaccination drive is being carried out to ensure that differently-abled persons are not deprived of vaccination and are vaccinated at the nearest health centre. The walk-in facility will have 100 doses at each centre, said a TMC official.
