  • Is there any registration charge to be paid?
  • No, there is no registration charge.

  • For people between 18 to 44 years, the States will announce the policy relating to payment. Most states have announced that they will offer it for free at government centres.
  • However, at private vaccination sites, the cost will be decided by the private hospitals and you can see the price of each vaccine at the time of booking.
  • Can I check the price of the vaccine?
  • Yes. The system from May 1 will show the price of the vaccine below the name of the vaccination centre at the time of scheduling an appointment.
  • Can I choose the vaccine?
  • Yes. The System will show the vaccine being administered in each vaccination centre at the time of scheduling an appointment. Citizens can choose the vaccination centre as per their choice of vaccine being administered However, the choice will not be available at the Government facilities.
  • What are the options if one citizen is aged 45 or above and another is aged 18 or above?
  • If one citizen is aged 45 or above and another citizen is aged 18 to 44 years and both want to schedule a combined appointment, then only private paid vaccination centres or vaccination centres as per state’s policy will be made available. However, it may happen that some hospitals which are catering to people with 45 years or more may not allow the booking of appointments for people with lesser age. In that case you may make bookings one by one.
  • If I am Covid-19 positive, when can I get my vaccine shot?
  • The centre has specified three categories of temporary contraindications. For people in these categories, vaccination is to be deferred for four-eight weeks after recovery. These categories are: persons having active symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection; Covid-19 patients who have been given anti-SARS-Cov-2 monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma; and acutely unwell and hospitalised — with or without intensive care — patients due to “any illness”.

Noida and Ghaziabad initiate vaccination for 18+

The vaccination drive in Noida started at 9am on May 10 and saw long lines forming from 8am onwards.

After Delhi, vaccinations have now started at Noida’s government centers on Monday (May 10). Earlier, people had to travel from Noida to Delhi to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. The vaccination drive in Noida started at 9am on Monday and saw long lines forming from 8am onwards.

Post the introduction of vaccination centres in Noida, those who had to travel to Delhi to get the vaccine were happy that now they will not have to travel far to get the second dose. The 18-44 age group will also be able to take part in the Phase III vaccination program that had started in many states across the nation on May 1.

Last week, immunization of 18+ age group started in 7 districts of Uttar Pradesh. From today onwards, vaccination of 18+ will commence in 11 districts including Noida and Ghaziabad.

Only locals in 18+ group to get vaccines in UP, migrants in Noida, Ghaziabad worry

Days after Uttar Pradesh started the vaccination of those aged between 18 and 44 years, authorities have mandated that the beneficiaries must produce a local address proof to get the jab.

Its indeed the sad reality regarding the seriousness of the vaccination drive in India. It was published in the TOI a few days again in the Pune edition that it will take at least till Feb 2022 to get majority of Pune population jabbed at the rate at which vaccinations are being made available here.

i was able to book as well, enabled availability notification via Paytm & then booked within 30 sec via cowin. Paytm helped!!!
Upon reaching at govt hospital, had waited for 2 hours(of course there was a queue and get a challan etc), but rush happened coz 45+ can walk in directly and get doses, so that queue was huge and 18+ people hv to wait for 1:30 hours to get the vaccinated started. But once 18+ started, was able to get within 15 mins. Better not to book in 9-11 am slot, afterward is fine.

Had shared if someone can get help.

Sputnik V shots may hit market by month end

With the first consignment of 1.5 million doses of Russia’s Sputnik V already in India, many private hospitals as well as some state governments are in talks with Dr Reddy’s Laboratories to finalise contractual agreements to procure doses that may become available for use by the end of the month, reports Sushmi Dey.

Hyderabad-based Dr Reddy’s Labs is the marketing firm for the imported jabs in the country and has conducted local bridging studies for Sputnik V in India. Apart from the 1.5 million doses that came on May 1, a second consignment with almost equal quantity is expected by end of this month. Overall, India will get 18 million doses of Sputnik V, three million in May, five million in June and 10 million in July, an executive said.

The first consignments of Sputnik V are likely to start reaching private hospitals by end of this month. Apart from Sputnik V, supplies of existing vaccines are also expected to increase over the next few months.

Due to shortage of COVID-19 vaccine does, the Maharashtra government on Tuesday decided to divert 3 lakh vials of Covaxin meant for the 18-44 age group for the use of the people aged 45 years and above.

There is a dearth of vaccines hence we’re considering holding off vaccination drive temporarily for 18-44 age group. 2.75 lakh vaccine doses left for this group, that’ll be used for 45 yrs & above group now. Administering 2nd dose is priority: Maharashtra Health Min Rajesh Tope.

Tope said over five lakh people above 45 years are awaiting the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.

Speaking to reporters, the state health minister said, “There is a dearth of vaccines, hence, we’re considering holding off vaccination drive temporarily for the 18-44 age group. 2.75 lakh vaccine doses left for this group, which will be used for 45 years and above group now. Administering second dose is a priority.”

The Maharashtra health minister said that only 35,000 vials of Covaxin are currently available with the state government, which will be diverted to those above 45 years of age who are due for a second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.

“Around 35,000 doses of Covaxin are available for people above 45 years, but over five lakh people need the second dose of Covaxin. For this, we are diverting Covaxin stock to those above 45 years of age,” Tope stated.

In first 11 days, less than 25 lakh aged 18-44 got the jab

Eleven days since the Centre allowed states to vaccinate their 18-44-year-old population, fewer than 25 lakh have got the shot across the country. Grappling with a vaccine shortage, some states like Kerala haven’t started the drive, while others have been forced to improvise.

Maharashtra, the worst-affected state, has opened phase III for its younger population with limited doses and restricted them to those who can book a slot on CoWin. Till May 9, the state has given 4.4 lakh shots.

A few other states like Rajasthan and Gujarat, which are towards the top of the leader board, have adopted a more conservative approach by first vaccinating high burden districts. Karnataka started phase III on a small scale from Tuesday.

Gujarat is prioritising the 18-44 drive in seven municipal corporation areas of Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar and Gandhinagar, and the three districts of Mehsana, Kutch, and Bharuch. CM Vijay Rupani said the selection was based on high Covid incidence at these places. The state has vaccinated 3.09 lakh persons in the last 10 days.

Rajasthan, too, initially restricted the drive to 16 of its 33 districts, including Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Udaipur, among others. R K Saran, a district official, said this was the modus operandi for the first seven days as doses were limited; they opened it to the entire state from May 8. To ensure equity, they have allowed 50% walk-ins at rural areas. The state has vaccinated over 4.2 lakh till May 10.

Vaccination expert Dr Naveen Thacker, who was India’s representative to Gavi (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation), said Gujarat and Rajasthan’s approach seemed more practical in the light of rising cases and vaccine shortage. “Spreading the doses thin across the state may yield little in terms of reducing deaths or severity,” he said.

The abrupt decentralisation of vaccine procurement that left states and private centres high and dry has been widely criticised, but Thacker said at least, the states were free to try their own strategies now.

Karnataka, which had planned to begin phase III from Monday, could start only from Tuesday for want of doses.

By simple arthmetic, we have 130 crore population and each need 2 doses. So even in they produce 10 crore doses a month it would take 26 months to vaccinate all.

The govt. in a plainly ill-advised move back in January placed a far smaller order for vaccines than what was required. I mean the ultimate goal was always to vaccinate the entire population. Why not ramp up production from the beginning? Didn’t they know how long it takes to scale-up? Esp. as they were also keen on vaccine diplomacy to claw back lost ground from China. Reactive rather than proactive as always.
