According to the PTI, vaccinating 100 to 200 people in each session per day, monitoring 30 minutes after the shots are administered for adverse events, and allowing only one beneficiary at a time are among the centre’s guidelines for the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. According to guidelines recently issued to states, the COVID Vaccine Intelligence Network (Co-WIN) system is used to track claimed beneficiaries for the vaccine and anti-coronavirus vaccines in real time. At the vaccination site, only pre-registered beneficiaries are vaccinated according to the prioritization, and no on-site registrations are planned. As far as possible, states have been asked to assign the vaccine from a manufacturer to a district to avoid mixing different COVID-19 vaccines on site.
