Glitch in uploading the data, ensuring staggered entry of beneficiaries and delay in taking a person to the hospital from one of the vaccination sites were some of the issues identified during the second dry run on Wednesday conducted at around 66 sites in the city in preparation for a vaccine roll-out within weeks.
All the centres completed the process of registration, beneficiary verification on CoWIN app, health check, information about the vaccine being administered, the process of vaccination and the observation after receiving the shot within two hours. Twenty five people all identified for the dry run at each site.  
The North Delhi Municipal Corporation started the dry run at Hindu Rao and Kasturba hospitals while the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) conducted the exercise at six facilities, including a model centre developed at Sriniwaspuri. The other centres where dry run was conducted include polyclinics and maternity and child welfare centres at Fatehpur Beri, Munirka, Bijwasan and Hari Nagar.  
 
Fixing glitches on the CoWIN platform, ensuring network connectivity and team coordination were identified as some of the issues at some of the municipal facilities. “This, however, is a dummy site that was used for registration today and it is likely to not happen with the actual app,” said a senior official from south-west district.
This comes just two days after a dry run was conducted at three sites a dispensary, a government hospital, and a private hospital in Delhi. The learning from the first round of dry runs include extending the seating area for 30 to 50 people and considering a token system or giving a particular time slot to ensure social distancing.
 
“The teams of four vaccine officers will be formed in such a manner that there is one woman at each site,” said a district health officer.
The government is also looking at arranging ambulances, wheelchairs, and stretchers at all the sites for anyone who might suffer an adverse event. The districts are also looking at mapping the best way to reach the hospital on time.
An official at the south zone of the SDMC said a delay in transporting the patient in case of an emergency was witnessed at the Fatehpur Beri centre.
