Cuttack: While the availability of vaccines is an issue, denizens are frustrated about vaccine slot-booking site CoWIN not working properly.
Users on Monday reported that the portal was showing slots were available but there was no response after clicking on them.
We are aware of the technical glitches faced today during the online slot booking.
Details are awaited from the technical team of CoWIN.
As of now, kindly resist from trying to book the slots. Please don’t worry, more slots will be opened in coming days.
