Co-WIN glitch: States can add beneficiaries manually
January 20, 2021
Health Ministry says post-inoculation deaths unrelated to Covid-19 vaccines As technical glitches continued to affect scheduling of Covid vaccination in many States, the Centre has decided to allow them to “manually” add beneficiaries, provided their names are already in the list fed into the Co-WIN portal.
A pre-registered beneficiary in the database can be added to a session as an additional beneficiary over and above the scheduled number to maximise the number per session for better coverage, said the Health Ministry’s Additional Secretary Manohar Agnani here.
According to highly-placed sources, nearly 30 per cent of the vaccinations done on Wednesday were such “added beneficiaries”.
