Go Big On Booster, Says Government. But CoWin Shows No Free Dose In Delhi
NDTV
Search on official portal CoWin showed the national capital has no precaution doses available for the next several days
No government facility has the free-of-cost Covid booster vaccine available in the national capital, while paid vaccines at private facilities, at Rs 386.25, continue to be available over the next few days, though not in significant numbers.
This, when the government has been telling people to take the "precaution dose" or booster immediately as cases rise in China and elsewhere.
Searches on the official enquiry and booking portal CoWin showed no availability at all in North and North East Delhi, while there were some doses available at private centres in other areas of the city. For instance, Central Delhi had 13 slots available at private centres, East had five; South East was better at 29.
Besides CoWin searches, a visit to LNJP Hospital, one of Delhi's biggest government health facilities, revealed no booster availability.
