Goregaon, Mumbai:
Server was not working as per hospital. So, they managed to manually complete the process for those who had an appointment. Took about 2 to 3 hours. Kudos to the vaccination team.

My aunt and uncle got vaccinated. They had appointment on Co-WIN, but no SMS. Center said that it was fine and asked them to come over for vaccination. Incidentally, they were not allowing earlier without SMS.

Your experience might not be as rosy as these, we understand that. We do understand that getting an appointment slot on Co-WIN has been a challenge faced by many.
But, these positive stories show that many vaccination centers are being flexible to facilitate the process.

It's heartening to see walk-in registrations being facilitated and openness in some centers to reschedule appointments etc. We need a bouquet of approaches to make this work.
If you have a vaccination story, do share with us. It might guide others.
