Chennai Corporation’s vaccination portal gets a good response
The Hindu
On the first day, all slots were booked in a few hours
The online portal launched on Thursday by the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) to book slots for COVID-19 vaccination received an overwhelming response on day one with all slots getting booked in a few hours. People who tried to book early on Friday were in for disappointment as all the slots were full. Launching the portal on Thursday, the Corporation said that one-third of the doses allocated to each vaccination centre every day would be reserved for booking through the portal. The remaining two-thirds would be kept for walk-in beneficiaries. Apart from the portal, the Corporation announced two other modes of booking slots — by calling 044-46122300 or via WhatsApp on 9499933644.
