Rajkot: Since morning youngsters had lined up at urban health centres in Rajkot to get their first jab of vaccination against Covid-19. As many as 7,698 people in 18-44 years age group got their first dose of vaccine in Rajkot city on Saturday.
While the process was smooth in most of the centres, people faced problems like technical glitches and incomplete SMS, which delayed the vaccination.
Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) has set up 18 session sites for the vaccination where walk-in registration is not allowed. Many made repeated attempts to register themselves even as the portal crashed.
“I was sitting outside Santoshi School for three hours for my turn. But when I approached the registration table they informed me that they could not find my name in the system because I did not get a second SMS showing the appointment timings. I was asked to register again,” said Purvi Dave (27), a company secretary by profession. tnn
