COWIN glitches: Two KLE vaccine centers create confusion- Jab denied even after Appointment

The Covid-19 Vaccine Intelligence Network (Co-WIN) platform, especially designed to drive the coronavirus immunisation programme in the country is giving a tough time to citizens of Belagavi.

After months of waiting KLE Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital commenced Paid vaccination Yesterday.

But since yesterday the glitches are irking the beneficiaries who booked their appointment.

Manisha Desai tweeted on Friday, 18-45 vaccination slots suddenly opened up at KLE yesterday! I immediately booked two slots for our staff. Just now upon reaching KLE, they were told that yesterday was a ‘Trial’ so there is no real vaccination appointment. However, her appointment was automatically rescheduled for Saturday.

But on Saturday as well, Manisha tweeted – Same today! They went with their new appt and were told that their slot doesn’t exist that it was still part of the demo that the DHO did. I am now going to wait for one week till they get their act together and then book. Hopefully, they won’t run out of vaccine till then

To make the issue more worse, Nitin who went to KLE vaccination centre was denied a jab saying there is NO KLES and only KLE is there.
Nitin Sankh tweeted –

Not sure if anything short of a scam. Booked my appointment to KLE hospital Belagavi, hospital authorities not issuing vaccination saying it’s KLEs and not KLE. Not sure who’s at fault? Maybe it’s my fault ruining my sweet weekend standing in a queue

Later Prasad Cholli added that he sood in queue for 2 hours. Later during registration he was told, due to mistake from DHO, 2 different slots are created for KLE. One is valid & other invalid. Checked with DC office regarding the same. They were not even aware that 18+ vaccination is started.

Even i m also victim. Stood in que for 2 hours. Later during registration told us that, due to mistake from DHO, 2 difrent slots are created for KLE. One is valid & other invalid. Checked with DC office regarding the same. They were not even aware that 18+ vaccination is started.

In all it is utter confusion, a few luck chaps who booked the KLE slot did get their jab yesterday and today as well. Again it was heartening to see that the DC office is unaware of the 18+ vaccination process is underway.

God Bless Belagavi !
