BMC also urged all citizens to get children in the age group of 12 to 17 years vaccinated on priority, against the backdrop of a possible fourth wave. Vaccination for this age group is available free of charge at municipal vaccination centres and for a fee at private vaccination centres.

Citizens in the age group of 18 to 59, born between 1963 and 2004, can take booster dose if they have completed 9 months since the date of their second dose. An appointment at private vaccination centres can be booked via registration on the CoWin portal, or via the walk-in method, BMC said.

Citizens need to carry certificates of the 1st and 2nd dose of the vaccine.
