After registration, taking an appointment to get the jab would be mandatory for those between 18-44 years as walk-ins will not be allowed initially, officials said.
Dr R.S. Sharma, also the CEO of National Health Authority, said that preparations had been made to handle the increased traffic and refuted reports of worsening CoWin glitches.
The central government had announced that the vaccination for those above 18 years will begin across the country from May 1 as part of the third phase of the inoculation drive.
Day one of second phase of vaccination drive saw many complaints from people trying to register for the shot. Govt says it is monitoring user experience but says no glitches found so far.
This was clarified by the ministry amid reported glitches in doing registrations as India opened up vaccination for senior citizens and those aged 45 and above with comorbidities.
The govt Wednesday said that people above 60 years of age and those over 45 years with comorbidities will be able to get the vaccine for free from 1 March.
In an interview, Ram Sewak Sharma, chairman of Co-WIN panel, says the app has functions separate from Aarogya Setu and that data collection is minimal, not sensitive & encrypted.
Not just in Maharashtra, everywhere in the country this app created problems in the execution of vaccination drive, said state public health minister Rajesh Tope.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Make the slotting dynamic sub district wise for First dose and second dose instead of age. Government has data of how many require second dose so the quota can be adjusted per day or week between first dose and second dose. If no person below 45 is able to get vaccine on 1 May, then it is nothing but a jumla
