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.

Ludhiana/Nawanshahr, December 28
The exercise to conduct a dry run of the distribution and administration of the COVID-19 vaccine over a two-day period in two selected Punjab districts began on Monday, health officials said.
The districts of Ludhiana and Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar (Nawanshahr) have been selected for the dry run, aimed at testing the laid out mechanisms for the vaccination roll-out in the health system, said Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu.
He said it would provide insights on any gaps or bottlenecks in vaccine distribution and its administration to the population so that those could be addressed before the commencement of the COVID-19 immunisation drive.
