KOLKATA: Senior citizens have started queuing up in large numbers at the Kolkata Municipal Corporation Covid vaccination clinics (CVC) to get their booster shots. According to a KMC health department official, the civic body’s vaccination clinics were recording a surge in attendance of senior citizens who were averse to taking the booster dose.
According to data with KMC, number of booster doses shot up from 10-15 in first week of January to 95-100 doses by end of month. “Now we are in a comfortable position as senior citizens are queuing up in good numbers shedding the fear of infection,” said a KMC health department senior official.
