Health and Family Welfare today chaired a high-level meeting to review
preparedness at session sites across the country for COVID-19 vaccination trial
run on 2nd January 2021(tomorrow).
The senior officials of the Ministry
apprised the Minister on various improvements that have been made to make
tomorrow’s Pan-India dry-run glitch free such as number of telephone operators
has been increased to answer every possible query from the teams on ground
conducting the dry-run; block level task forces have been constituted for
physical inspection of the sites; all workers have been oriented for the
purpose with the dissemination of FAQs on the process, among other issues.
Requesting every official to ensure that
the vaccination sites and official incharge abide by the detailed checklist and
SOP for vaccination that has been prepared by the Union Health Ministry and
shared with the States/UTs to guide them in the dry run, Dr. Harsh Vardhan
pressed the need for perfect calibration between the administrative and medical
officers to make the event a primer that would later enable the mass
implementation of vaccination drive.
Re-emphasizing the importance of such an
event that involves mass participation similar to the elections, he said, “Let
us attempt to implement it as a real exercise with attention to the minutest
detail. Proper co-ordination will go a long way in building mutual
understanding so that the upcoming vaccination drive may proceed without any
glitch.”
Drawing from the Pulse Polio drive of

so integrally based on interaction and involvement of people, the relevant
stakeholders, NGOs, Civil Society Organization (CSOs) and others need to be
mobilised.He also stressed on the need for adequate security arrangements at
session sites, cold chain points and during vaccine transportation.

collation of data, uploading it on CoWIN, training of the vaccinators,
preparedness for any adverse event following immunization (AEFI), cold chain
management, security of session sites and vaccine storage sites, etc.
They expressed confidence in their
preparedness regarding the mock drill and assured the Union Minister that they
are in all preparedness for the actual exercise of vaccination of the
identified beneficiaries.
Dr. Vardhan also updated the officers on
the status of the two leading vaccine candidates whose data are being closely
monitored by the Subject Expert Committee of DCGI. He appreciated the efforts
of front-line workers and expressed his condolence for those
