Vaccine rollout efforts in India
Stuti Johri, 26, gets her first dose of Covishield at a private hospital in Mumbai after anxiously refreshing the CoWin app and “lucking out” in April 2021. She got her second dose seven weeks later at Kasturba Gandhi Government Hospital in Mumbai through the priority vaccination campaign for students going abroad. Johri is pursuing an MBA degree in London.

Seema and Sanjeev Buckshee, parents of Devina Buckshee, get vaccinated with their first dose of Covishield (the name under which the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine was manufactured in India) at a private hospital in Mumbai in March 2021 as slots for those above age 45 opened up. At the time this photo was taken, vaccines were in stock and the entire process was smooth at this Mumbai location.
