Many people complained that they could not receive the dose. We have been standing here for more than three hours but the queue is not moving at all. We are not sure whether we will get a dose today, said 54-year-old Smriti Bindra at the Nesco vaccination centre in Goregaon.
Senior citizens need not stand in long queues as vaccine is in short supply only for now , tweeted additional municipal commissioner Ashwini Bhide. But be rest assured that all 45 plus years citizens will eventually get vaccinated, she added.
Several states, including Punjab, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh on Thursday said they do not have sufficient doses of vaccine for the inoculation of those in the 18-44 age group, and indicated that they may miss the May 1 launch date of the drive.
