The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has received at least 4,500 applications for vaccinations at home for bedridden citizens. The corporation has started scrutinising the applications and has estimated that the number will increase once the drive starts on August 2.
The issue of vaccinating bedridden people had been discussed even before the drive began and the high court had asked the state government to make an action plan.
