凌晨两点,Ananya Maskara的脸照亮她的智能手机,她紧张地滚动列表,寻找绿色或黄色标签表明Covid-19接种疫苗槽可以在印度首都新德里。
对于任何年龄在18岁到44岁的印度扩展槽疫苗接种开车——已经饱受短缺和政治争论——就像买一个流行乐队的摇滚音乐会门票在几分钟内卖出。
“这是……情绪的过山车,”她疯狂的19岁的告诉法新社,持续多日的搜索找到印度的槽在线或应用疫苗接种门户。
“这是非常困难的……我的许多朋友没有槽,直到现在,他们还等着。”
Maskara,就像数以百万计的年轻印度人害怕感染,由当前激增后急于对冠状病毒接种该国本月开放其接种所有成年人。
但是扩张与限制,只包括在线注册18-44-year-olds,锁定到印度人口的一半,尤其是在贫穷和农村地区,没有智能手机或互联网接入。
众多印度各邦也在疫苗短缺,意义有名额有限的多达6亿人18-44队列现在资格获得疫苗。
Maskara最终被成功地找到一个位置,但许多人仍拼命地搜索。
“我有比得到一个更好的彩票中奖的几率疫苗孟买一位抱怨道:“推特用户。
到目前为止,只有百分之三的印度13亿人口——或者3950万都充分接种剂量。一个额外的10.6%收到他们的第一枪。
-这家网站技术人员已经开发出解决方案,帮助用户在槽的一些城市已经开放的随机时间的一天,都是在一两分钟。
Berty托马斯,35岁,一个常驻爱好者程序员和业务分析师,创建了一个工具,用户通过警报电报消息传递应用程序时槽区开放。它已经得到了超过400000用户。
“现在我的注意力是扩大这些警报到多个全国小城镇和村庄,”托马斯告诉法新社,并补充说一些用户想书在地区和农村地区的亲戚。
“(槽)一个问题,特别是在村庄里互联网是稀缺的。所以唯一的方法是……人访问互联网来帮助那些不。”
当地媒体说,有些家庭甚至长途旅行安全槽的年轻成员。
Devang Bhatt, 28日告诉法新社,经过几天的洗涤槽的疫苗门户在西部古吉拉特邦艾哈迈达巴德,他发现一个城市的郊区。
“这是累人的,但值得,Bhatt说他的疫苗。
——没有互联网,没有接种疫苗,但Seema,管家的工作在北部城市勒克瑙在北方邦州——受到了病毒的破坏——接种疫苗似乎不太可能。
“我没有上网…几名男生在我附近有智能手机,但他们不知道如何使用它(注册),”现年40岁的他一个名字告诉法新社。
“(政府)应该考虑像我们这样的人。我每天运行的风险暴露自己的疾病我为三个家庭工作。我希望我能得到自己接种疫苗。”
专家说,政府应该允许的胜利在疫苗接种中心——一个衡量已经介绍了45岁以上的人。
当局还应该考虑“以疫苗的人而不是让人们来疫苗”,阿育王大学物理学和生物学教授Gautam梅农告诉法新社。他建议步骤像移动接种疫苗的诊所在偏远地区。
Mohendra Sharma,谁没有自己的手机,这种变化不能很快到达。
“需要有一个系统上门接种疫苗。那些没有智能手机,他们会怎么做?," the 26-year-old told AFP at a milk store in Delhi where he works. "I am worried for my family and for myself if we don't get the vaccination."

It's 2:00 am and Ananya Maskara's face is lit up by her smartphone as she nervously scrolls through a list - looking for a green or yellow tab indicating that a Covid-19 vaccination slot<\/a> is available in India's capital New Delhi.
For anyone aged between 18 and 44, getting a slot in India's expanded vaccination drive<\/a> - already plagued by shortages<\/a> and political squabbles - has been like buying tickets for a rock concert where popular bands sell out in minutes.
\"It was... a rollercoaster of emotions,\" the 19-year-old told AFP of her frantic, multi-day search to find a slot on India's online<\/a> or app vaccination portals.

\"It was... a rollercoaster of emotions,\" the 19-year-old told AFP of her frantic, multi-day search to find a slot on India's online<\/a> or app vaccination portals.
<\/div><\/div>\"It was really difficult... A lot of my friends haven't gotten a slot until now and they are still waiting.\"
Maskara, like millions of younger Indians terrified by the current surge in infections, is rushing to get vaccinated against the coronavirus after the country this month opened up its inoculation drive to all adults.
But the expansion came with restrictions, including only online registrations for the 18-44-year-olds, locking out up to half of India's population, particularly in poor and rural areas, who don't have smartphones or internet access<\/a>.
Numerous Indian states are also struggling with vaccine shortages, meaning there are limited slots available for the up to 600 million people in the 18-44 cohort now eligible for jabs.
Maskara was eventually successful in finding a slot, but many others are still desperately searching.
\"I have better chances of winning the lottery than getting a vaccination shot<\/a>,\" grumbled one Mumbai-based Twitter user.
So far, only three percent of India's 1.3 billion people -- or 39.5 million -- are fully vaccinated with both doses. An additional 10.6 percent have received just their first shot.
- Hackathon - Techies have developed workarounds to help users in some cities where slots have been opening up at random times of day and are filled within one or two minutes.

<\/div><\/div>Berty Thomas, 35, a Chennai-based hobbyist programmer and business analyst, created a tool that alerts users via the Telegram<\/a> messaging app when slots in their district open. It's already gotten more than 400,000 subscribers.
\"My focus right now is to expand these alerts to multiple small towns and villages across the country,\" Thomas told AFP, adding that some users wanted to book for relatives in regional and rural areas.
\"(Getting slots) has been an issue, particularly in the villages where internet<\/a> is scarce. So the only way is... for people who have access to internet to help those who don't.\"
Local media say some families have even travelled long distances to secure slots for their younger members.
Devang Bhatt, 28, told AFP that after days of scouring the vaccine portal for a slot in Ahmedabad in the western state of Gujarat, he found one on the outskirts of the city.
\"It was tiring, but worth it,\" Bhatt said of his vaccine trip.
- No internet, no vaccination - But for Seema, a house-help working in the northern city of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh state -- which has been ravaged by the virus -- getting vaccinated seems unlikely.
\"I don't have access to the internet... A few boys in my neighbourhood do have smartphones but they don't know how to use it for this (registration),\" the 40-year-old who goes by one name told AFP.
\"(The government) should think about people like us. Every day I run the risk of exposing myself to the disease as I work for three households. I wish I could get myself vaccinated.\"
Experts say that the government should allow walk-ins at vaccination centres -- a measure already introduced for people above 45 years old.
Authorities should also consider \"taking vaccines to the people rather than having people coming to the vaccines\", Ashoka University physics and biology professor Gautam Menon told AFP. He suggested steps like mobile vaccination clinics in remote areas.
For Mohendra Sharma, who doesn't own a mobile phone, such changes can't come soon enough.
\"There needs to be a system for door-to-door vaccination. Those who don't have a smartphone -- what will they do?,\" the 26-year-old told AFP at a milk store in Delhi where he works. \"I am worried for my family and for myself if we don't get the vaccination.\"
