Faced by persistent glitches in the CoWIN app that caused massive delays and hurdles during the first day of the vaccination drive that covers senior citizens and comorbid adults above 45 years, people participated in the drive across centres in huge numbers. Many complained about the mismanagement and the long wait as the app’s server was down till 12 pm. But once the system was up, all that mattered was the jab.
