Synopsis
The dry run was being carried out in five locations with 25 test beneficiaries (healthcare workers) for each session.
The current cold chain is capable of storing an additional quantity of COVID-19 vaccine required for the first three crore prioritised population.
As the country eagerly awaits a likely coronavirus vaccination drive in January, at least 125 intended beneficiaries each in four states who had registered on the Co-WIN App were on Tuesday sent SMSes informing them about the time and place of their 'COVID-19 vaccination' under a mock-drill and preparations made to administer the shots at designated centres.
