 "51% people knew someone who couldn't find Covid jab at centres in April")
Right ahead of the universal Covid-19 vaccination drive, when everyone above 18 years is eligible for a shot, a LocalCircles survey shows that 51 per cent of citizens had someone in their social network who could not find a vaccine dose when they went for vaccination in April.
The survey, which received more than 8,000 responses from citizens in 255 districts of India, showed that during the past three weeks, the percentage of those reporting shortage at vaccination centres went up 3x.
LocalCircles’ survey released on April 11 had indicated that 18 per cent of citizens or someone in their social network could not find a vaccine dose when they went for vaccination in the first 10 days of April.
As Covid-19 cases have shot up by almost 150% from 145,000 in the first week of April 2021 to more than 355,000 this week, LocalCircles conducted another survey to gauge if people who have gone to the vaccination centres are still experiencing vaccine shortage.
