Pune: Members of the Transgender Community began receiving Covid-19 shots at the Sancheti Hospital on Monday, with 169 vaccinations on the first day.
On Tuesday, India Serum Institute CEO Adar Poonawalla said he would ensure that the vaccine was available at the Sancheti Hospital for the transgender community.
