Now just one day is left to get relief from coronavirus. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the vaccination on January 16 at 9 am. During this time, the state's Chief Minister and Health Minister will also be present through video conferencing.
Three lakh health workers of the country will be given the vaccine on the first day. At the three thousand vaccine booths across the country, these health workers will be given a dose of both Kovishield and Kovaxin vaccines.
It was informed by the Ministry of Health that the Corona vaccine will be vacated at 2,934 centers in the country on Saturday. Initially, there was a preparation to give vaccines at 5000 centers but to maintain the system, the number of centers was cut. Vaccination was to be started at 89 centers in Delhi but now this number has been reduced to 75. However, the ministry has said that the number of centers will be increased in the coming days.
The Ministry of Health has advised the states to organize their immunization sessions keeping in mind the 10% reserve dose and an average of 100 vaccinations per day.
Therefore, states have also been advised not to take any haste on their part to organize a large number of vaccinations per site per day. As the vaccination process stabilizes and progresses, these vaccination session sites will be progressively circulated daily.
The ministry has once again clarified that the vaccine will be given free of cost to health workers and frontline workers first on the basis of preference. The vaccine will have to take a second dose in four weeks.
The ministry says that 95% of the order dosages have been sent by the Serum Institute. At the same time, India Biotech has also made available 3.5 million doses. States currently have adequate vaccines.
Covein website will also be inaugurated
One day later the coronavirus vaccination is going to start in the country. In this case, till Thursday, enough vaccine doses have been made available to all the states of the country.
The Union Health Ministry said that 1.65 crore doses have been distributed in all states. These doses of covishield and covaxin have been transported to storage located at the block and district levels. The Convene website will also be inaugurated.
The person can register to take the vaccine only through the Kovin website. After the launch of this website, everyone will be able to use it. Initially, the district administration will have access to the website.
A senior health ministry official said that vaccine doses have been sent to different states. The first batch has reached all states. Now the second batch will start meeting the states after a week.
Since a vaccine can be used only for six months. Therefore it is necessary to provide limited doses. Advance supplies of one to two weeks to the states will continue to run on time.
States getting less dose of vaccine is not less than a rumor: Ministry
Coronavirus vaccine has been given to every state according to their condition. Things like getting low doses of vaccine to the states are nothing more than mere rumor.
After the statement of Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope came out on Thursday, the Union Health Ministry said that states were being given priority in view of the infection. In addition, doses have been provided only on the basis of the vaccine. Since vaccines will be given to health workers and security personnel first. In such a state, the same number of doses can be made available.
The Ministry of Health has said that it is the responsibility of the Central Government to deliver equal doses of vaccine to each state of the country. There is no politics in it. In Maharashtra, 7.84 lakh health workers have registered. So the doses that have been received are sufficient. Continuation of vaccine dose to states will continue. In such a situation, there is no question of any partiality or state hearings.
In fact, Health Minister Rajesh Tope has accused the Center of providing a low dose of Corona vaccine. Tope said that the state currently needs 17 lakh 50 thousand doses but only 9 lakh 63 thousand from Serum Institute of India and 20 thousand doses from Bharat Biotech Company.
