On Tuesday, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) announced that it would be prolonging the covid vaccination drive for those travelling abroad from three days a week to six days a week.

Since they have the opportunity to get themselves vaccinated amongst the six days in the week. The said extension will remain in action till August 31, announced the authorities.
Earlier, the eligible individuals could visit any of the seven designated vaccination centres in the city from Monday to Wednesday. With the recent development, they will now be able to do so from Monday to Saturday.
For students travelling abroad for higher education, the BMC reduced the gap between the two doses of the Covishield vaccine from 84 days to 28 days.
