At a time when India is gripped by one of the worst crisis situations, the only cure saving the citizens are vaccine doses. Again, it’s a huge challenge to get a population as large as ours vaccinated. While mass production and procurement of vaccines to suffice our need is one challenge we’re dealing with, another is of limited locations conducting the vaccination drive and vast gathering around them. Therefore, few cities have come up with drive-in vaccination centres where people can get their doses inside their vehicles, being able to maintain adequate social distancing. Here’s a list of the cities that already have operating drive-in vaccination centres.
