Also, some confusion applies among residents about Covishield and Covaxin, which have different schedules for different age groups.
NMC has ordered 50% of offline slots for spot registration from the age group 45+, because these beneficiaries are more comfortable with the manual process, civilian officials say.
Laxmi Nagar’s resident said he and his wife fell in the group 18-44 and was surprised to learn that they did not qualify for the covishield dose on Thursday.
“We know some people test positive immediately after vaccination.
Therefore, we try to avoid the crowd.
But when we reach, there are no doses,” they said.
Free covishield doses will not be available for any age group in the city center in the city for the next two days.
Civil officials also do not realize if the drive will continue on Saturday in the city.
However, NMC will continue with a covaxin dose in three designated centers – Ambedkar Hospital, GMCH and expensive Diagnostics Center – for all groups.
Less dosage once again slowed the vaccination program, which, the day had previously exceeded 63,000 inoculation in this district.
Of the 204 vaccination centers, many centers cannot stretch their sessions more than 1pm, while some others managed no more than 50 vaccinations on that day.
The numbers dropped up to 22,243 on Thursday.
Of these, 16,990 was carried out in the city and 5,253 came from rural centers.
The Supplementary City Commissioner Ram Joshi said the Civic body had not received a vaccination schedule on Thursday night.
“Covaxin will be available to run three centers for all age groups and both doses.
Some centers must be closed at 1pm when they run out of doses.
Some beneficiaries of age 18-45 years have gathered in several centers to ask, even though we have announced no The availability of vaccines for them.
We sent a commemoration the day before on social media and in newspapers to ensure people did not face problems, “he said.
With the increasing vaccination center, the Civic body now requires at least 50,000 doses every day for the city, which gets 50% of the dosage given by the district.
But this district expects no more than 50,000 doses in the next shipment from the state government, maybe on Saturday.
