Colombo Mayor Rosy Senanayake, today said that all those who fall under the category of 55-69 years of age, and who had been vaccinated at a CMC center with AstraZeneca as their first dose, were requested to wait till 3rd week of July to receive an update on their second jabs.

Senanayake said the CMC will send a request to the phone numbers registered and an email was not required.

"If you have given a land number, we are in the process of creating a pathway to get your details more efficiently and we will communicate this through social media as soon as possible," Senanayake said.

"If you have not been vaccinated at CMC, you should inquire from your area MOH regarding the availability of vaccines," she added.

She said those below 55 years of age should wait for their turn as the CMC will be vaccinating everyone in batches after 3rd week of July.

"If you are a student waiting to depart the country, please register with https://alt.army.lk/covid19/ to get your vaccination," she added.

Appreciate CMC’s commitment in this BUT Why only the Colombo mayor making announcements? There are many more municipalities than CMC in the Colombo district, are the mayors of those sleeping or have they forgotten there are thousands of people awaiting a second AstraZeneca dose in those too? Not even mentioning about any the other areas of the WP here.

How come Colombo mayor decide on the mechanism of vaccinating since this will not be bringing on her own account. Let the health authoraties decide More preferable age bracket is 60 as for WHO standards and not only Colombo municipality but the entire Colombo district first and then Kalutara and Gampaha.

Hope the government will include the work force aged 27 to 29 years also to the vaccination program without delay.
