The BMC is done with floating tenders for the procurement of vaccines after unfruitful results in the previous attempts. The civic administration will now wait for the government to officially increase its share of the vaccine doses, as 75 per cent of the total production will be procured by the Centre directly, leaving very little in the open market.
