After a slow start, the BMC has so far inoculated around 1 lakh kids aged between 12 and 14 years with COVID vaccines. Civic officials said parents play an important role in boosting the numbers as they have started bringing their children for vaccination after exams got over.
The drive for this age group kicked off on March 16. Since then, BMC has jabbed 99,554 beneficiaries with at least one dose, while 19,821 have taken both shots. Children from this age group are administered Corbevax with a 28-day gap between the two doses.
