In
a massive nation-wide exercise today, a end-to-end mock drill on the vaccine
administration was conducted today in all States and UTs at 286 session sites spread across 125 districts. Each
District conducted the dry run at three sites or more which included a public
health facility (District Hospital/Medical College), Private Health Facility,
and rural or urban outreach sites. All the State & District officials were
trained on the Operational Guidelines and for conducting the dry-run.
This dry run was aimed at testing the laid out mechanisms for COVID-19
vaccination roll-out in the health system and to assess operational feasibility
of using Co-WIN application in field environment for planning, implementation
and reporting at the block, district and state level. The dry run was
also conducted to familiarize the State, District, Block and Hospital level
officers on all aspects of COVID-19 roll out.
The
States/UTs conducted the dry run from
9:00 am across the country, in a seamless manner. The activities
starting from beneficiary data upload, session site allocation & micro
planning, vaccine allocation, session site management with test beneficiaries,
reporting mechanism etc. were covered in this one day dry run to execute the
nearest possible simulation of the actual day. The preparation to handle any
Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) at all session sites and
functionality of the Call Centers was also tested. The dry run was
supervised by the District collectors. This dry run ended with debriefing
meetings at district and the state level to discuss the issues and challenges
encountered during the day. MoHFW was in constant touch with the States
throughout the day to seek feedback on their experience. The States/UTs have
expressed complete satisfaction on the successful conduct of the dry run which
included the operational process and its linkages with the Co-WIN Software.
The Co-WIN software has been developed by MoHFW for
real time information of vaccine stocks, their storage temperature and
individualized tracking of beneficiaries for COVID-19 vaccine. This
software will assist the programme managers across all levels through automated
session allocation for pre-registered beneficiaries, their verification and a digital
certificate will be generated upon successful completion of the vaccine
schedule. More than 75 lakh
beneficiaries have been registered on Co-WIN software till date.
The
cold chain infrastructure is sufficient to ensure last mile delivery of COVID-19
vaccine in a temperature controlled environment across the country. Sufficient
supplies of syringes and other logistics have also been ensured to begin
COVID-19 vaccination drive. Around
1,14,100 vaccinators have been trained on the process to be followed
at the vaccination sites which includes beneficiary verification, vaccination,
cold chain & logistics management, Bio-Medical Waste management, AEFI
management and uploading the information on Co-WIN software.
The
entire operational planning and IT platform has been field tested in four
states which include Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Punjab and Gujarat on 28th and 29th Dec’20;
and on the basis of feedback received, minor enhancements have been made in the
IT system.
The details
of the Districts and sites where the dry run was conducted are as follows:

Ahead
of the actual vaccination drive, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare
today conducted a nationwide mock drill at 285 session sites to test the
end-to-end planned operations and the mechanism that has been set up to ensure
smooth conduct of the COVID19 vaccination that is expected to begin soon.
This
dry run of the vaccination drive spread across 125 districts is covering all
States/UTs having adequate representation of urban and rural districts along
with hard-to-reach areas.
Expressing
his satisfaction at the preparations at the
The
Union Minister appreciated the tireless efforts being made by multiple
stakeholders including the central and state government officials who have
worked proactively in the last few months to ensure the success of this
humongous operation.
Dr
Harsh Vardhan said that the digital platform, Co-WIN, repurposed from the e-VIN
platform is the real game changer, and will provide real time information of
vaccine stocks, their storage temperature and individualized tracking of
beneficiaries of the COVID-19 vaccine. This unique platform will assist the
program managers across all levels through automated session allocation for
pre-registered beneficiaries, their verification and for generating a digital
certificate upon successful completion of the vaccine schedule. More than 75
lakh beneficiaries have been registered on Co-WIN platform till date, he said.
Speaking
on the preparedness for ensuring that the vaccine reaches even the remotest
corner of the country, Dr Vardhan said that the country’s cold chain
infrastructure has been sufficiently upgraded to ensure last mile delivery.
Adequate supplies of syringes and other logistics have also been provided for.
Dr
Harsh Vardhan warned the citizens against falling prey to rumours and
disinformation campaigns regarding the safety and efficacy of the COVID19
vaccine. He rubbished the rumours being propagated on social media which are
raising doubts in the mind of the public regarding the vaccine side-effects. He
urged the media to exercise caution and to behave responsibly and check all
facts before publishing or broadcasting any reports.
Dispelling
doubts regarding the country’s capability to undertake such a massive
vaccination drive, Dr Harsh Vardhan described how India has unparalleled
experience in dealing with immunization and runs one of the largest
immunization programs in the world. He noted that
“It
is as a result of our steadfastness and dedication, that
At
the UPHC in Daryaganj, Dr Harsh Vardhan reiterated his earlier assurance
regarding the safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of the COVID19 vaccine. He
reiterated that the Government led by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi
ji is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all citizens. Replying
to a question he stated that “I have ample personal experience from the Polio
Eradication campaign of 1994 about how the people of the country placed their
trust in the science of the vaccine rather than the falsehoods and canards
being spread by some rumour-mongers”.
The
Minister said that the entire operational planning and IT platform has been
field tested in four states on 28th &
29th December 2020; and on the basis of feedback received,
certain enhancements have been made in the system. All the State & District
officials have been thoroughly trained for conducting this dry-run that is
aimed at testing the laid-out mechanisms for COVID-19 vaccine roll-out. This
dry run will end with review meetings at district and state level to discuss
the issues and challenges encountered during the exercise. States/UTs have been
requested to share the feedback with MoHFW which will be analyzed for ironing
out any glitches in the final execution and further refinement of the
operational procedures.
Dr
Harsh Vardhan also emphasized that
