Nagpur: A large number of people from all age groups were seen at various vaccination centres including Indira Gandhi Hospital of Nagpur Municipal Corporation in Gandhi Nagar but they had to return dissappointed as the staff displayed notice boards stating vaccines not available.
Ketan Kothari has been regularly coming to the hospital to check weather vials have arrived or not as his two children got registered for the vaccine on April 28 and since then he has been trying hard to get a slot for his children
Vinod Gaikwad literally broke down and said his life is already going through soo much of pain due to the Covid pandemic since the last one year and now he is fed up and confused as he is not getting the vaccine due to the shortage. “I have to get my wife vaccinated plus my second dose is left. If somethings happens to me or my family who would responsible,” he asked.
Uday Mudliar said he has been coming to the centre since the last three days for a relative of his in the age group of 18 to 44 years but has to go back dissappointed as boards of no vaccine at the centre have been put up. No one is in a position to tell when these vaccines would arrive. Rush at the government hospital has increased as the affluent class who never used to come to these government hospitals have increased and hence people of lower strata who were getting the vaccine free of cost are suffering. The government should ensure vaccines for both the private and government hospital so that those who can afford can take it in private hositals and also reduce the rush in government hospitals.
Ajay Khandewal who had taken his first dose on April 1 and had got a slot booked for May 2 for the second dose through Co-Win App has been coming regularly to the centre but the staff is saying vaccination for 18-44 has started and on some days they it would be for people 45 years of age and above they dont have the stock.
On the other hand Dr Utkarsha Moon said the health department staff have kept two separate queues ready for Covid vaccination for people who would be taking the first dose and a separate line for people who have to take the second dose in the 45 years and above category at the NMC school in New Babulkheda Rameshwari ready by putting barricades and drawing circles. Dr Utkarsha added that protection is enhanced if the second dose of Covishield is administered between 6-8 weeks and hence people should not panic and wanted people to know about an advisary in which Centre has writen to states and UTs to increase the interval between two doses to 4-8 weeks based on NTAGI and NEGVAC recommendations.
Dr Anita Mate said since last two days there has been no vaccination at this centre as they didnt receive the vials but is hopeful that they would get the vials by Wednesday so that they can start the vaccination soon, especially for people who are qualified for the second dose in the 45 and above category.
