Vibe's full on 90's advance movie ticket booking queue on opening day.
Some aunties in their Sunday best! The few millennials mostly in sweats and tshirts lol. 3/n
Forgot the 2/n in my prev tweet and now I feel like @SrBachchan misnumbering his tweets.

Queue is moving! In queue for a vaccine for a disease we discovered a year ago.
Helped two cute old ladies take a pic together! They are SO CUTE. 😭😭
They've come to take the vaccine together...I am so happy for them. This year has been the toughest for our seniors.

Still waiting outside. Queue's swelled to about 60 peeps. Here's a terrible panorama to prove it.
Tip: COME EARLY! It's scheduled to start at 9 am and people walking in now have at least 70 people ahead of them.
The Great Indian Queue game is ON! Been waiting inside the clinic for some mysterious registration process. Being inside an air conditioned room with atleast 80 people...😨😨😨
Uncleee please stop sneezing! 🤮
Ugggh all this just to get a time slot at 10 am! So essentially your CoWin registration is USELESS. You'll have to do the entire registration process physically.
Brb killing time eating dosa and dinking coffee at nearby cafe. Both of us slightly grumpy.
Now they're calling out names for the 10 am slot. Raise your hand and yell PRESENT! 😭 Waiting for the lift!
They didnt allow me to go up. Okay no vaccine photo for Twitter clout then 😭😭
The dad got jabbed! He said it was pretty efficient up there. Minimal waiting and 4 people were being vaccinated at a time. They are making folks wait for 20-30 minutes before releasing them.
Also, he got #covishield phew!
Also, he got #covishield phew!
Conclusions:
1. Go to the clinic 2-3 hours early
2. Don't rely on CoWin. Walk-ins are fine.
P.s this was a paid vaccination centre; INR 250/shot
