Vaccines seem to be the best bet as India battles the second and more dangerous wave of COVID-19.

However, the vaccination process has not pleased Sayani Gupta who alleged that her relatives' scheduled appointment for the second dose of the vaccine was cancelled in Kolkata.

Sayani wrote on Twitter that it was ‘absolutely crazy’ that the second dose of vaccines was not available in Kolkata. The Jagga Jasoos star alleged that the registration platform, Cowin had cancelled prior bookings made over six to eight weeks ago.

Tagging Adar Poonawala of Serum Institute of India, which made one of the vaccines Covishield, she questioned the  ‘fake narrative’ of vaccination drive when vaccines for people who have already taken the first dose could not be provided.

A day before, Sayani had claimed that her uncle and aunt went to three hospitals but none of provided them the vaccine. She called it a ‘nightmare.’  

Recently, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit too had expressed his displeasure on the vaccine stock allegedly ending at a centre in Mumbai. Actor Tannishtha Chatterjee had shared that long queues for senior citizen was not right and that a door-to-door or mobile vans process should be initiated.
