Some private hospitals have kept their outreach vaccination camps on hold for this week because the health department will conduct inspections of the sites.
The Calcutta Municipal Corporation, on other hand, has set up a team of doctors to monitor its own Covid vaccination centres.

The state health department had issued a standard operating procedure (SOP) on Saturday that all outreach vaccination camps run by private hospitals have to adhere to.
The developments follow the arrest of Debanjan Deb, who impersonated as an IAS officer and organised fake vaccination camps.
“We have postponed all our outreach camps scheduled for this week. The department told us to inform them about outreach camps we are planning to organise at least five to seven days in advance. They will inspect the proposed camp site and give a written approval if they are satisfied,” said R.

The ongoing outreach Covid vaccination camps by private hospitals that have approval letters from the health department will continue, a state government official said on Monday.
“We want private hospitals to conduct outreach vaccination camps as that will add pace to the vaccination programme. All such camps that have permission from the state health department will be allowed to go ahead. But we have introduced some additional screening,” state health secretary Narayan Swaroop Nigam said.

The additional checks include physical inspection by the health department before granting permission for any outreach camp.
So far the department used to create a unique name and code for each outreach camp on the CoWIN portal. Now, the health department will issue a formal letter of approval after a screening.
