New Delhi, March 1 : The excitement for getting vaccinated on Day 1 of the third phase of massive immunization drive turned into a chaos after the CoWIN portal kept shutting down intermitently while processing the inoculation exercise, several hospitals complained while speaking to IANS.
It resulted into hours long delay for those who came early for registration on-site and even those who self-registered through the portal.
Halls were empty and the number of people seated in the vaccination waiting area sparse at AIIMS, New Delhi, mere hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the hospital, where he received the Covaxin jab. “(It is) remarkable how our doctors and scientists have worked in quick time to strengthen the fight against Covid-19. I appeal to all those who are eligible to take the vaccine. Together, let us make India Covid free! he tweeted. In stark contrast, a line of makeshift canopies were erected in the backyard of Max Smart Super Specialty hospital in Delhi as senior citizens - parents and grandparents started pouring in from 9 am onwards, as soon as the CoWIN registrations went live. Many managed to register and others just decided to walk-in. Till afternoon there were at least 300 beneficiaries that had enrolled themselves for vaccination on day 1 at the hospital.
