Getting a vaccine appointment on the Cowin application has been a real challenge. And while we may blame the government for the unavailability of slots, we live in a country where the size of the population is about 136 crores. And while the centre has promised that it will have the entire country vaccinated by December 2021, what about the students awaiting their visa? To fast track, the visa process of students planning to travel abroad, The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation released a list of COVID-19 vaccination centres in Mumbai where students can get vaccinated on priority.
