A total of 29 lucky winners who had taken the precautionary dose of the Covid vaccine at two malls and seven D marts under the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) were given awards on August 15 as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.
In order to encourage citizens to take a precautionary dose of the Covid vaccine, the civic body had offered prizes for three lucky winners from vaccination centres at two malls and seven D Marts.
It has been seen that the severity of the infection is less due to the Covid vaccination and NMMC emphasized on the maximum number of citizens of the city should be protected by inoculating the vaccine. “That is why Navi Mumbai has become the leading city in the state to complete the first dose and the second dose of the Covid vaccine,” said an official from NMMC.
