Survey by LocalCircles showed 77 per cent respondents willing to take the jab now, as against 38 per cent in January
Increased readiness for the jab, local distribution hick-ups and supply issues at the vaccine makers' end are seen causing a shortage-like situation for Covid-19 vaccines in the country, experts noted.
What adds to the demand pressure is the Centre's ambitious four-day 'Tika Utsav' (Vaccination Festival), which kicks-off on April 11.
According to its latest survey, community social media network LocalCircles noted that nearly a fifth of the respondents had someone in their social network who had failed to get a vaccine in the first 10 days of April.
