COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout
As India gears up for COVID19 Vaccine roll out, Centre guides States/UTs on
Co-WIN management
Robust technology to provide sturdy foundation and backup for world's largest
immunization drive
Posted

The Centre has been proactively carrying activities towards
preparing for the nationwide roll-out of COVID-19 vaccine in close
collaboration with States/UTs and all stakeholders. The Union Ministry of
Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) today held a VC with administrators from
States and UTs on the CoWIN software which forms the backbone of the last mile
vaccine administration.
The meeting was chaired by Shri Ram Sewak Sharma, Chairman
of Empowered Group on Technology and Data Management to combat COVID-19 and member, National
Expert Group on Vaccine Administration of COVID-19. The meeting was attended by
the State Principal Secretaries, NHM Mission Directors, and State Immunisation
officers and senior officers of the Health Ministry. During the meeting the
feedback of the States/UTs on the Co-WIN software and its operational use,
emanating from the dry runs, was discussed in detail.
Shri R. S. Sharma gave an overall view of the Co-WIN
software and the principles that shall underpin the technology back-up for the
vaccination exercise. He said that robust, dependable and agile technology
shall form both the foundation and the back-up for the country’s COVID-19
vaccination which shall be the world’s largest immunisation exercise. This is
an unprecedented scale of immunization, he pointed out. Addressing the
participants, he stated that the process should be citizen-centric, and built
on the approach that the vaccine shall be available anytime and anywhere. He
stressed on the need to be flexible without compromising on quality. He
reiterated that the inclusivity, speed and scalability have been kept in mind
while designing the unique digital platform with all components being portable,
synchronous without excessive and unnecessary dependencies.
The EG Chairperson underscored the critical importance of
capturing the vaccination data in real time, stating that this was
non-negotiable; while the posting of data on the portal may be online or
offline in view of connectivity issues being highlighted by few states.
He also critically highlighted the caution one needs to
exercise to ensure that there are ‘no proxies’ at all; the beneficiaries need
to be uniquely and undeniably identified, he strongly reiterated. Speaking on
the use of Aadhar platform, he advised the States to urge the beneficiaries to
seed their current mobile number with Aadhar for registration and consequent
communication through SMS; there cannot be any proxies for Aadhar
authentication. He pointed out that it is extremely important to clearly
identify person who is getting vaccinated and keep a digital record on who gets
vaccinated by whom, when and which vaccine. He also advised the States and UTs
that the data collection should meet the purpose of facilitating work and that
needs to be validated at the field levels.
There was a detailed and comprehensive discussion on the
experience of the States/UTs. Their feedback and the consequent changes in
software/protocols based on those inputs were deliberated upon. These included
issues such as: Session allocation/planning/time slotting; Work flow
allocation; Vaccinator’s allocation; Sending SMS to vaccinators and
beneficiaries; and connectivity issues.
