After a promising start, the ongoing 75 day-long campaign launched by the central government for free booster vaccination of people between 18 and 59 years of age is getting a tepid response. 

A dip was seen when data between the first four days and the last four days was analysed.  According to officials, fewer vaccination centres, no Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activity from the BMC, and drop in Covid cases are some of the reasons for the dip.
