MUMBAI: Even as public centres reel under erratic and insufficient supply of vaccines, private hospitals have been able to procure doses smoothly by placing orders directly through Co-Win since last week. Many received the stocks within 3-4 days of placing orders with the manufacturer, particularly Pune’s Serum Institute of India.
Joy Chakraborty, COO of PD Hinduja Hospital, said they managed to place orders through Co-Win last Wednesday and received doses within four days. “At this point, the new system is meeting expectations,” he said. Dr Prince Surana, CEO of Surana Group, said they placed an order for 40,000 doses on Friday and vaccines were delivered on Monday morning. “I was surprised… previously it would take weeks to a month,” he added. Orders, however, can only be placed for Covishield and Covaxin through Co-Win and not for Sputnik as yet.

MUMBAI: Private hospitals have to place orders for vaccines on CoWin and can’t directly procure directly from manufacturers from July 1. The Centre has also devised a formula to decide the ‘maximum monthly limit’ of stock that a private vaccination centre can purchase to ensure a level- playing field.
According to an SOP document circulated among Mumbai hospitals on Tuesday, the maximum vaccine stock a private hospital can procure is double its average daily consumption for a particular week (its choice) in the previous month.
Linking purchase to usage a good idea, feel city hosps
Hospitals can pick a week of their choice to derive the daily average and place orders. The details will be taken from the Co-Win site.
