Answer:

Mumbai: Over 1.75 lakh teenagers in Maharashtra came out to get vaccinated against Covid-19 on the first day of the rollout of the drive for the 15-18 age-group. Mumbai, its biggest district, however, saw a poor turnout, clocking barely 6,115 vaccinations — not even 1% of its target.

State data revealed 1,76,552 children took the shots till 6.30 pm on Monday, covering around 3% of the target population of 60.63 lakh in Maharashtra. Thane vaccinated nearly 20,000 (19,829) children, highest among districts, followed by Pune (17,276). In Thane, sessions were held majorly within 16 school and college campuses to reduce travelling hassles for students. Mumbai’s vaccination turnout was about a third of the best performing districts.

Civic officials blamed poor numbers on the strategy to restrict the drive to nine jumbo vaccination centres, whereas other districts vaccinated by setting up booths at schools and colleges. “Our initial plan was to vaccinate at schools and colleges, but the Covid task force advised against it for fear of adverse events,” said AMC Suresh Kakani.

There were no side-effects reported on Monday among the vaccinated children. “If we don’t see any adverse events in another week, we will take the drive to campuses,” Kakani said, adding the city had the resources to finish vaccinating this group in a month. Mumbai has an estimated 6,12,461 adolescents in the age bracket of 15-17 years. In addition to 6,115 vaccinations in this age-group, another 1,043 were done among those who are 18, which have been added to the adult turnout figures, BMC said. CoWin too appears to have segregated children between 15-17 years from those in the 18 category.
