Life and Travel Experience: Yellow Fever Vaccination, New Delhi

Yellow Fever Vaccination, New Delhi

I goggled for Yellow Fever Centers in New Delhi and found six centers providing service of vaccination. My friend suggested me to go to MCD Laboratory, Civil Lines, which is close to ISBT, Kashmiri Gate.

Things looked smooth but there are lot of humps in process. The address of place is confusing. People working opposite the office does not know whereabouts of Vaccination center. I wandered for one hour in the area, passed two times front of it but could not locate it. Town hall is in Chandni Chowk. I do not know how come Town Hall appeared in Address of this center. Name of Alipur Road has changed to Sham Nath marg. Correct and easily approachable Address of place is "Opposite to Gate no. 3 of Vidhansabha metro Station"

The timings mentioned for vaccination was 10:00 AM to 12:00. But Registration should be done at 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM. People reaching there at 11:00 AM were refused for vaccination; and they argued with Doctor for reaching there within prescribed timings. One vaccine is used for five peoples and cost per person is Rs 300. They would not consider you until a batch of five is complete even if you reach there before 10:30 AM. But usually there are loopholes in process in India, it also exists here. If a batch of five is not complete then vaccination could be done but.... I left the phrase for your guess. The Registration thing is not mentioned anywhere on internet. I called to International Inoculation Center, Mandir Marg; they also said the same thing. The Timings for Vaccination at Mandir Marg is 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM but registration start at 9:00 AM and Vaccination is done for first 45 candidates. Anyways I crossed all humps and got the vaccination done for me.
