Aannouncement had come late on Sunday night
Anxiety over the second vaccine dose continues for quite a few people who had arrived at the Government COVID Vaccination Centres (GCVCs) on Monday hoping to get the jab, but had to return home disappointed. An announcement on the vaccination drive being postponed was made late on Sunday night, catching them unawares. A few families that had reached Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital on Monday for the jab enquired with the staff there if the vaccine would be given, but did not get a proper response. They were forced to return home without taking the vaccine. “Such incidents were reported in other GCVCs too. The staff there explained the reasons for the postponement. A few argued and questioned how many times must they visit the vaccination centres,” sources in the department said.More Related News
