Teenagers eager to get the Covid-19 vaccine rushed to the Jumbo Covid centre at Richardson and Cruddas in Mulund (E) on Monday morning, only to face a delay. While security guards at the gates were allegedly not aware of the slot of 9 am for them, the teenagers also learnt there was a technical glitch. Hundreds of them and their parents were stranded outside. But within an hour, vaccination started and continued smoothly till 5pm.

Satish Nair, a Mulund resident, had come for the jab for  his 16-year-old daughter. "We had booked a slot between 9am and 11am but when we reached, the security guards were not aware of this and didn't let us in. Many parents like me had to stand in the sun with our kids until they let us in," he said.
