    Vaccination will be done with the help of 'Project Mumbai'

    The medical certificate stating that the person, who is to be vaccinated, will have to remain bed-ridden for at least the next six months, is required to be submitted to the administration along with the consent of that person or a relative, it added. The vaccination of bed-ridden citizens will be done with the help of Project Mumbai, a non-government organization, the BMC said.

    So far, BMC has received details of 4,466 bed-ridden citizens

    After the completion of the home vaccination process in the K-East ward, the factors that are required to be included in the next phase of this exercise will be considered, it said. The BMC has asked people to e-mail them information about those bed-ridden citizens to covidvacc2bedridden@gmail.com. It said it has so far received details of 4,466 such citizens.
