Alongside these 1,354 Healthcare Workers (HCWs) and 703 Frontline Workers (FLWs) took their dose on Monday.
Also, the figures of the 18-44 age group also includes 132 students who have received admissions from foreign universities. These students are being given free walk-in doses in three civic hospitals.
Senior officials said that now that most of the senior citizens have already taken their doses, owing to the gap of 84 days, the footfall of those in the 18-44 age group is increasing day by day. "Usually, on the first three days of the week, we receive a higher footfall. The BMC has allowed walk-in facilities in the vaccination centres on these days," a senior official said.
