Preparations for the world’s largest Corona vaccination
drive have gained momentum with planes carrying vaccines flying into
airports across the country. From various airports, the vaccines are
being dispatched to small cities and towns in readiness for the
inoculation exercise beginning Saturday. From Assam to Goa and from
Jammu and Kashmir to Kerala, the vaccines were carefully and swiftly
transported to far corners of the country.
According to sources, 95 per cent of the 1.1 crore doses of Covishield
vaccine purchased by the government have been delivered and shipped to
nearly 60 consignee points across India in the past two days. Of the 55
lakh doses of indigenously developed Covaxin of Hyderabad-based Bharat
Biotech ordered by the Centre, the first tranche of 2.4 lakh doses have
been dispatched to 12 states. Health Ministry said, vaccines have been
allocated to all states and UTs in proportion to their healthcare
workers database.
In accordance with the national priority
list, the vaccine will be first given to healthcare and frontline
workers. Each vaccination session will cater to a maximum of 100
beneficiaries per day.
