I went al the way to Ragama hospital to get the first dose on 28th from Ratmalana as I am allergic to Pencillin &.no centre would give it to me but asked me to go get it from hospital. However after waiting in the que foe 1hour 10mts we r informed at 8am that no vaccine will be given. There were no more than 300 persons in the que. Is this eficiency by the Health Aithorities? I will wait till Sri Jayawardenapurs Hospital gives the vaccine from elsewhere not from China.
