Noida: Changing government guidelines has led to confusion about when recipients aged above 45 can take the second dose of their vaccine. Since walk-ins are allowed for the second dose, it has compounded the problem.
What has also aided the confusion is that while the CoWin portal will allow people to register, their names will not show up at the centre unless the required time difference between the two doses has been covered.
So, several people who have been turning up at vaccine centres in the city are having to return without getting the shot because they still have some time to cover for the next dose.
