Wrong address for vax centre causes misery

A wrong address in the CoWin portal for vaccination sites is causing a lot of hardship for people looking to get the jab. A South Delhi Municipal municipal corporation-run mother and child care centre’s official address is stated to be MCW Nehru Place primary health care centre. However, it is actually located in Giri Nagar, wasting the time of people allotted the site. Many complaints have been raised in this regard on social media platforms, but to no avail.
Complainants said that on reaching South East district’s Nehru Place primary healthcare centre, the address on the vaccination portal, they realise that there is no such centre. In reality, the centre being referred to on the site is located in Giri Nagar near Kalkaji. The Giri Nagar location is around 2.6km away from the Nehru Place and the wrong address is causing much inconvenience to people who are forced to search for the real location.
“Wrong and incomplete address of the Covid vaccination centre at MCW Nehru place in South East Delhi has created havoc to the citizens who got appointment online for this centre. Instead of Nehru place it's in Giri nagar. Pincode is also misleading,” said one Vinod Bansal.
Many were seen asking for milestones or landmarks near the actual site of the centre. Ranjan Basu said that his 2nd dose of vaccination is allotted to the Nehru Place centre, but he wasn’t able to find the location on Google maps.
A municipal official said that the matter can be dealt with by the district immunisation centre. “If the portal states the wrong address, then the district immunisation officer can get it changed,” the official said.
The centre is administering the Covishield vaccine and all its slots are booked — still displaying the wrong address on the Co-Win portal — at the time of going to print.
