New Delhi: Select hospitals across the country conducted dry run on 2 January to understand the best way to administer the Covid-19 vaccine and plug loopholes in logistics and planning.

This is the second such exercise — a dry run was held on 28 and 29 December in Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Gujarat.

In the national capital, Guru Tegh Bahadur (GTB) Hospital in Shahdara, Urban Primary Health Centre at Daryaganj, and Venkateshwara Hospital, Dwarka have been identified as the sites for the dry run.
