With this, the health department has clarified that the preventive vaccine is not yet available so that the population is not available in the populated cities like Thane.

                Thane: The death of 10-year-old Aryan Medhekar in Thane city has killed 15 people and death toll in the district has risen to 29. The health department has made it clear that the preventive vaccine needed to not be over-crowded in the populated cities like Thane is still not available. The vaccine is available in a private hospital but it is seen that the government is not able to provide the swine vaccine in government hospitals due to non-governmental anomalies.
                Aryan, a resident of Khopat in Thane, had a swine flu infection. He was admitted to a private hospital for treatment. But on Monday night he got his life. Meanwhile, local BJP corporator Narayan Pawar, along with the local residents, said that on Tuesday afternoon, R. T. The centers were encircled by the centers. When Swine is increasing, he asked why the administration is spreading awareness among the administration. Public awareness is underway. Also, other measures are being taken.
                Meanwhile, the preventive vaccine needed for this swine flu is available. When asked about this, Pawar said that the discussions are going on in the matter of phone with the concerned company.

                The Health Department has asked for 25 thousand vaccines. But they have not been available by demand for many days. The vaccine is available at a private hospital for Rs 810 and the vaccine is given at the government hospital for Rs 358. Due to the discrepancy, private hospitals and private hospitals making vaccines for private hospitals will not be able to get the vaccine from government hospitals. In view of the increased risk of swine, Guardian Minister Eknath Shinde had also held a review meeting in this regard. After that, he had ordered the concerned system to make vaccine available. But there is still a scarcity of these vaccines. From 1st January to 25th July, 1 lakh 37 thousand 469 rupees have been examined in the context of the flu. In this 605 people have been infected with swine and 412 patients have been treated and left home. So still 168 patients are admitted to various hospitals for treatment. So far, 29 people have died from swine in Thane district. The highest number of deaths in the Thane is 15 rupees. After that, both died in Kalyan-Dombivli, 5, Mira-Bharinder-4 and Navi Mumbai Municipal boundary. From 1st January to 25th July, 1 lakh 37 thousand 469 rupees were examined in the context of the flu.
