Dr.
Mangala Gomare, BMC executive health worker, said they had begun to enter the focus on the second dose vaccination.
Environmental-level war rooms have begun to call people due to the second dose.
“We can also install camps in areas if there are many waiting for the second dose and there is a problem of accessibility,” said Dr.
Gomare.
Civil officials say there may be three categories of people whose names are missing from the second dose recipient, people who have been vaccinated outside Mumbai, who have been vaccinated with doses but their records have not been updated due to mistakes and people who are due but have not taken Jab.
In all states, more than 2.35 crore people are waiting to get their first dose.
A state official said that the door-to-door vaccination began in several districts, the number is expected to increase over the next few weeks.
