A study has revealed that 35 per cent of Dharavi residents, including those who don’t reside in slums, were reluctant to get the jab during the Covid-19 pandemic. It links hesitancy with the level of awareness among the people.
Mumbai was one of the worst-affected cities during the pandemic. So far, 11,55,329 people have tested positive for the coronavirus out of which 19,747 lost their lives. Though in the initial days, citizens eagerly awaited a vaccine that would safeguard their health, many were not ready to take it.
