Coimbatore: The dry run for administration of vaccine for Covid-19 was successfully conducted in the district on Friday.
None of the five centres selected for the dry run faced any glitches or issues, officials of the health department said.
All the centres also managed to complete the practice run on 25 people each within two hours. However, the number of centres where the real vaccine would be administered is yet to be decided.
The dry run was conducted at five locations in the district Coimbatore Medical College Hospital, Nallatipalayam PHC, Samathur PHC, Karpagam Medical College and Hospital and Mettupalayam GH. Just like the nationwide dry run, we selected 25 beneficiaries for each centre. Since their data was already fed into the Covin app, we faced no difficulties in finding their data. We administered the vaccination following the data, deputy director of public health Dr G Ramesh Kumar said.

The trial run is mainly to check for any issues in the COWIN app, which must issue a certificate to the beneficiary after the vaccine, and to check how efficiently the vaccination teams store and administer the shots.
The trial run that will begin at 10 am on Saturday will be conducted at ESI Hospital, PSG Hospital, Sulur GH, SLM Home Urban PHC in Brookebond Road and Bouluvampatti community health centre.
