Thanks for the info. However it appears that the Umang database does not reflect the up-to-date availability. It would show a certain number of slots available on a given center, but after selecting the slot and confirming it shows the center to be fully booked. If you revisit the details, it again shows the same number of availability. The issue is with the Aarogya Setu app as well. Only the Cowin website shows the most recent availability.
Hence I again request all NGOs and people concerned to lobby the removal of captcha as an immediate relief for VI users. Of course, at the fundamental level, access to vaccination has to be guaranteed to everyone in logical succession rather than putting the onus on the users to find the slots. Regards.
