Over the past 3 days we have been struggling to get vaccination slots at Bangalore. SMS confirming vaccination on a particular date gets cancelled in hours saying Regret!! Paid vaccinations are very few! Free vaccination spots have rush/ lack of social distancing, especially in place like Bangalore with 20,000+ cases.
The 18+ vaccination slots are non existent with about 300 doses /day for a population of 15 Million at Bangalore. (Yes it is 0, in other cities in Karnataka and 0 in few states)....
So be prepared for a long hard ride. Person like me are lucky to have got both shots. Lalitha is due for II round of COVID which technically she can stretch up to 3rd July (90 days for COVID SHEILD)! Radha is due for her vaccination we hope that she finds slot in the next few days/ weeks.
I gone through the COWIN PORTAL and data is interesting! The vaccinations /day has come down from 2.7 Crores/day to 90 Lacs /day.
You see the Issue in India, Only 18 Crore People have registered so far out of Population of 100 Crores.... Goes to show TECH CAN only do so much!! How Governemnt is going to reach out RURAL area?? This time in second wave, the rural India is taking a big hit in # cases, and protection of people there is key!
Out of 59,000 Centere for vaccination, only 3000 Is PVT!!! Cost of Vaccination at PVT clinic is about Rs.1300 per dose!! Goes to show exploitation!!!
For People's sake, I hope things fasten up!! I feel very lucky once again as 1 in 3 Crore Indians to have got both rounds without sweat!!!
Regards
Karthik.
