It has been a year since we are fighting a deadly Coronavirus Pandemic. While, most of the countries including UK, US and Canada have started inoculating their citizens, India with 130 crore population is yet to begin the vaccination process. However, hopes of vaccination drive being rolled out in India soon have increased after CDSCO yesterday approved the Oxford-AstraZeneca developed Coronavirus Vaccine. Manufactured by Pune based Serum Institute of India, the COVID-19 vaccine known as Covishield is yet to be approved by DCGI before giving the jabs to people.
Meanwhile, Dry run of the Vaccine drive has begun in all the states. A dry run is essentially a practice session where a sample number of beneficiaries go through a mock immunisation process. It also aims to plug loopholes in logistics. This day-long drive will also test the operational feasibility in the use of CoWIN application in a field environment. CoWIN is a digital platform to roll out and scale up the vaccination drive. Today’s exercise is the second dry run being conducted in the country – the first was on December 28 and 29 in Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Gujarat.
In this video today let’s understand the process in detail
