14,822 given vaccine on Saturday
The COVID-19 vaccination drive which has been under way in the capital district for around two months will be suspended for a day on Sunday.
While several vaccine-seekers claimed difficulty in reaching their vaccination centres on Saturday with the KSRTC limiting services to a considerable extent, the situation was likely to persist on Sunday.
Moreover, the need for a well-earned break for health workers was also factored in.
Besides public health institutions, private hospitals were also unlikely to administer the vaccine as bookings were not opened for Sunday on the Co-WIN portal, official sources said.
No spot registration allowed as per new vaccincation protocols
The Thiruvananthapuram city Corporation s decentralised COVID-19 vaccination camps now face uncertainty as no spot registration can be allowed as per the new inoculation protocols. Those who want to get vaccinated are required to get appointments to their nearest hospitals or centralised vaccination facility through CoWin application, the nodal site for coordinating the vaccine drive.
The civic body has been running its vaccination camps in a decentralised manner in different sets of wards each day, with registration carried out on the spot. Though this arrangement had worked well for the Corporation, it had led to issues regarding crowd control in some other places, leading the government to take a shift towards the prior registration process. Since the camps are held in different locations each day, the inclusion of the centres in the CoWin application is not practical.
