My parents just got vaccinated at Nesco, Goregaon East(Mumbai). They had registered online and did a walk-in. Both got their first shot of Covishield.

That's confusing messages, walk -ins if promoted spoils the ingenuity of the master plan and the app; and puts more risk of infection to the crowd reaching there. Heard anxious citizens packed in front of hospitals; and with all the 60+ crowd in there risk of infection spread seemed highest.

Like many fellow TBHPians, I also tried to register my parents on the portal. Was able to register both of them in the first instance, and got yesterday's slot available. But when I tried to check for alternate dates, it wasn't reflecting the available slots for following days. Tried today and saw multiple slots are available in Govt hospitals (Delhi) and booked one for tomorrow.

With the help of private hospitals, I am sure everyone will get their jabs soon. May be the corporates also start planning and getting the vaccination camps organised for their employees.

This was at AIIMS Nagpur.

Got the registration done yesterday morning for my mom and by 3pm yesterday she got the first vaccine shot.

It was a smooth process which took one hour. They asked her to rest there for an hour and offered her water, tea etc. Social distancing was observed and the medical staff was quite helpful and friendly.

They have asked her to come after 28 days to get the 2nd shot. So far she only has some swelling near the injection site.

This was in a small town in MH. In city of Pune however the situation is quite different. My in-laws were asked to come tomorrow due to backlog from earlier day. Hopefully, they will get inoculated tomorrow.

Lines are long but you can get sport registered and jabbed.

EDIT:

only grouse is that they should have separate lines for people getting their second shot, people who are registered and people who want to register.

They have three terminals inside - one for HCW, one for front line and one for general but the queue is same. So the guys manning the HCWs are usually not overworked.

Any idea if they are doing spot registration for health care workers/doctors for first jab? Apparently registration of health care workers has now been stopped from this week?

My cousin is a doctor and went to the BKC center today and got turned down after waiting for an hour in the line saying that they can't do spot registration for health care people. The Cowin app now does not allow doctors to register either so he is looking for a spot registration location that can get him and his medical staff vaccinated

My parents took the Covishield Vaccine yesterday and are completely fine. Mom had mild fever and slight headache today thats about it.

My 79 year old dad got his first dose (Covishield) this morning. He was struggling to get a free slot yesterday, after having registered on the CoWin portal. All I told him was to wait out a few hours and then check the slots and he could manage one today.

Place is Coimbatore at TN. He is all fine and absolutely nothing that he notices as different.

My mother will be taking her first shot on the 4th March.

ninjatalli · 2nd March 2021, 18:11

Parents have got slot for tomorrow in Kalyani hospital, Mylapore, Chennai. Fingers crossed this allows a bit of peace of mind in the family.

They are trying hard to get others in their circle to get vaccinated. Toughest seems to be our maid of 40 years of service (70+ age). She just doesn't believe the vaccine will be a good thing to get done.

JoshMachine · 2nd March 2021, 18:59

My parents are currently in Pune, but would be travelling to Nagpur in couple of weeks.
Can they take their first shot at Pune and then take the second shot in Nagpur?
Any idea, how does the process work in such cases?

Or is it advised for them to wait and take both shots after they reach Nagpur?

Thad E Ginathom · 2nd March 2021, 19:41

Wow, everybody's really going for it, and many are getting done already! Congrats to the vaccinated.

And here's me, having been talking about it for ages, and done nothing yet <blush>.

Let me share my experience in Mohali Punjab.I went along with my father and his friend both senior citizens to SGHS multispeciality hospital Sector 77 Mohali at around 9:45 am .

The hospital has a separate place of 1500 sq feet area with separate sitting area both before and after vaccination.My father and his friend were the first persons for the day.There were no other people when we entered.

Both my father and my uncle handed over their original aadhar card for identity and age proof to the nursing assistants.The hospital staff started the process to register on coWIN site and this process is a little cumbersome and took around half an hour to get both of them registered.After registration only ,the hospital charges Rs 250/- to be paid at the main cash counter.

After the payment ,vaccine shots were given and both my father and his friend waited for half an hour in the waiting area and within 75 minutes ,all of us were back home .

However ,the vaccine certificate could not be downloaded by hospital today .Next jab would be after 4 weeks and sms would be received on the registered mobile number as a reminder .

As of now both are feeling well .However ,there does seem to be initial vaccine hesitancy amongst the general population.

My parents got it done at the govt hospital in Devanahalli. Surprisingly clean and was empty. Only 3 other people came so far today. They walked in and were signed up in about 20 min and out the door after a total of 1hr. It was Covidshield and so far no side effects.

Friends' parents in Chennai were able to get it done at Apollo (OMR, Greams rd, and Nandanam). Again walked in and did it. But all places were much more crowded. All had Covidshield, no side effects reported yet.

I got my in-laws a slot through the site in Kerala near the end of the month. There were very few slots available in general throughout the state. I have been told the hospital is giving Covidshield.

I got it done for 3 senior citizens after 2 attempts. We got an appointment for 1st March at Columbia Asia Whitefield but the systems were down. We reached out today and were told to reschedule it by one person. I managed to cancel the existing appointment but couldn't get a new one. They still asked me to come. After some confusion regarding the lack of appointment, they agreed to vaccinate our folks.

The wait time at the hospital was 6 hours. Their pace was about 25 patients per hour. A bit scary amidst so many people but staff were largely helping manage it considering it was their first real day of operations.

The data from the UK about effectiveness of the first dose is very encouraging. I can't wait to take my own jab when it's available for my age group.
