The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) reportedly has vaccinated more than seven lakh citizens so far for the coronavirus.
According to sources, at present, 91 vaccination centres have been set up as per the directions of Municipal Commissioner Abhijeet Bangar to make it easier for the citizens to get vaccinated near their homes. It has also planned to set up more than a hundred vaccination centres to expedite the vaccination for COVID-19 if more vaccines become available in the near future.
