MUMBAI: The city is doses away from administering first shots equivalent to its entire eligible population, the first among metros to reach the milestone. As on Friday, Mumbai had administered 92,35,708 first jabs, barely 838 shy of the entire estimated adult population of 92,36,546.
Statistically, a 100% single dose coverage, however, shouldn’t make Mumbai complacent as there are still unvaccinated pockets in the city by the administration’s own admission. An internal assessment by the civic body has found that several wards may be far below the required coverage. Among big cities, Delhi has administered first doses equal to 88.5% of its population, Bengaluru 88% and Chennai 82% respectively.
