MUMBAI: About 90% of the eligible population (12 years+) in the state have received at least one shot of Covid-19 vaccine while 71% have got both doses, shows the state’s latest figures.
The numbers come in the backdrop of CM Uddhav saying the state will write to the Centre to make vaccination mandatory to shore up the numbers. After a relatively impressive performance with adult vaccination, the state has failed to maintain the momentum for paediatric vaccination and booster coverage. Across most young groups, state coverage is lagging national numbers (see box).
