Mumbai:Thane vaccine deliveries to be segregated

Thane: Thane municipal corporation has segregated Covaxin and Covishield vaccine deliveries at centres here to avoid confusion among staff administering doses. Thane administration decided to switch to Covaxin for first-time recipients as stocks of Covishield dried up, and they want to reserve the remaining stock of Covishield for second dose recipients.

Ground staff alerted the administration about confusion among staff while delivering doses and did not rule out a mix-up of doses. Thirty-three municipal facilities and 11 private hospitals will administer Covaxin to first-timers, while six centres will administer the second dose of Covishield. tnn
