Second Coronavirus Vaccine Dry Run Begins Across India. See Pics
A second dry run to check the best way to vaccinate people against COVID-19 and plug loopholes in logistics and training is taking place across 737 districts in the country today. The first massive dry run was held on January 2. The day-long exercise will again test the operational feasibility of the CoWIN application in a field environment. Short for Covid Vaccine Intelligence Network, CoWIN is a digital platform to roll out and scale up the vaccination drive.
Karnataka Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar, monitoring the dry run, said "good news for Karnataka. Vaccines should arrive in a day or two. The priority is healthcare workers."
15 vaccination units have been set up at BKC Jumbo dedicated COVID-19 hospital in Mumbai. 25 healthcare workers selected for today's dry-run for vaccine administration..
