The post which is now viral has garnered more than fourteen thousand likes and hundreds of witty comments. 

Meme created a storm over the internet

A microblogging site user with the name Cabinet Minister wrote, "Vaccine na milna bhi is not funny. Pura din slot ke liye website check karo aur fir bhi no slot bhi not funny." While the other user who seems to have taken the covid vaccine via private means wrote, "₹780 main vaccine milna is not funny, free vaccination ka slot nahi milna is not funny."

Earlier, Mumbai Police too created a storm by using 'Jal lijiye' meme
