Vaccination against COVID-19 got off to a slow start in the central region with frontline healthcare workers administered the vaccines on Saturday.
The first phase of the vaccine roll-out seeks to cover doctors, nurses and paramedical and support staff. In Tiruchi, the vaccination drive started with only four doctors receiving the validation message from CoWin (application developed to manage the drive) at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital (MGMGH). Doctors at the GH attributed the glitches to server overload and said it would be rectified soon.

The trial was conducted at the Tiruchi Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital and four other healthcare facilities in Tiruchi. The dry run was held to check the quality of the facility, the software used to register beneficiaries among other aspects.
