The government is conducting a dry run on Saturday to check possible ways to vaccinate people against COVID-19. This is being conducted in all the states’ capital. 

Prior to Dry run, the govt conducted a two-day pilot COVID-19 vaccination in eight districts of four states on December 28-29. The Dry run is important as it is being conducted in all state capitals.

Three Dry run centres have been made in New Delhi. These are the Daryaganj primary health centre, the government-run Guru Teg Bahadur hospital, and the private Venkateshwara hospital.

To be noted that twenty-five beneficiaries – all health care workers – will be present at each site and the vaccination team will demonstrate how they will be registered and how vaccines will be given, and how they will be monitored for adverse events, if any.

All the centres of dry run have three rooms–one waiting room, one vaccination room, and an observation room. A team of four people – one person to check the documents, one to check the registration of the beneficiaries, one to monitor the person, and one to control the crowd — will be present.

The teams will have a vaccine carrier (cold box) that will be used to transport vaccines at the temperature they are meant to be stored from the cold chain points to the vaccination sites.

Union health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan also conducted a review meeting on the dry run with the Delhi authorities. “The objective of this dry run is to prepare everyone for the huge immunisation drive. There should be good communication between the medical teams and the district administration for smoothly conducting vaccination. This will also let us know whether the registered beneficiaries are getting messages to reach the booth and whether they are getting an e-certificate afterwards. This will also clear up the divisions of lists of beneficieries and any doubts regarding the CoWIN platform,” he said.
