Only 55%-60% of the healthcare workers who have registered for inoculation would be administered the Covid vaccine in Maharashtra in the initial phase of the vaccination drive to avoid delay and mixing of doses from different manufacturers.

The state health directorate took the decision on Tuesday after Maharashtra received a total of 9.63 lakh doses of the Covishield vaccine, manufactured by SII, ahead of the mass vaccination drive of healthcare workers from January 16.
