Despite the claims made by the Centre that there is no vaccine shortage in the country, a large number of respondents interviewed in a IANS C Voter Live News tracker said that they are not able to get vaccine doses easily and they have to wait for long to get vaccinated to fight the deadly virus.

While 47.0 per cent of those, who were interviewed in the survey said that they are experiencing long waiting time in getting the jab, 42 per cent of the respondents shared a different experience as they said they are able to get vaccine doses easily without waiting for long period after booking their slot to get vaccinated.

The remaining respondents were not sure about the availability of the vaccine in the country.

Majority of Indians believe that decision of the Narendra Modi government to establish medical oxygen generation plant in every district of the country, taken amid the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country was a delayed one.
