Pune: The second round of Covid vaccination for healthcare staff would begin from February 16 in the district. The decision was taken by the officials of director of health services in a meeting on January 22.
To get done with the vaccination of all the healthcare staff, the session centres would be raised. Because of limited session centres and technical issues in the CoWIN portal, the vaccination target achieved since the beginning of the drive has not matched the expectation.
