The turnout at K J Somaiya Hospital, Sion, on Day 1 of Phase 2 of the vaccination programme was more than expected, said the dean on Monday. Though the glitches in CoWIN app led to a delay, the hospital managed to vaccinate about 110 senior citizens and people aged above 45 with comorbidities.
“We were not expecting so many people on Day 1. We were expecting mostly phone calls enquiring about the vaccine and the process. But we were happy to see people coming forward to take their shots.
