India’s Covid-19 vaccination drive hits bump due to app glitch

SATARA/BHUBANESWAR: India’s Covid-19 vaccination drive hit a bump on the first day due to glitches in an app called Co-Win that is being used to coordinate the campaign, according to several officials involved in the immunisation programme.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched what his government has described as the “world’s largest vaccination programme” on Saturday to rein in the pandemic in India, which has reported the second-highest number of cases after the United States.

Co-Win, developed by the government, is supposed to help by alerting healthcare workers who are first in line to get shots, and by allowing officials to monitor and manage the entire drive.

But many health workers, who were to receive the vaccines, did not get the message on Saturday, said a senior official with the health department of the western state of Maharashtra.

“We were planning to vaccinate 28,500 people on Saturday but could do only 18,328 because of glitches in the Co-Win app,” the official told Reuters on condition on anonymity as the details are not public yet.

Maharashtra, home to the financial hub of Mumbai, has been hit the hardest by coronavirus among all Indian states.

India was aiming to vaccinate more than 300,000 people on day one, but only 191,181 people were inoculated on Saturday, official data shows.

In the eastern state of Odisha, officials said they were forced to use printouts due to issues with the app.

“We also went with our plan B and contacted people to be vaccinated directly offline,” Bijay Kumar Mohapatra, Director, Health Services, Odisha, told Reuters.

The Indian government did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday.

“The system performance and speed was improved and is being further optimised,” Manohar Agnani, additional secretary, ministry of health and family welfare, said on Saturday.

  1. Y the VAX is doomed ? That should NOT even be a question !

    1st – Only 200000 are being vaxed in a day ! At this rate,it will take 20 years to vax 100%
    2nd – In a a few days,people who were vaxed will start dying, and then the number of daily vaxes, will go down – which is pure disaster
    3rd – Most Important is not that antibodies are created or not.The key issue is ,will the Vax, prevent transmission, to those Not Vaxed
    4th – A person who naturally has created,or can create antibodies,will get NO Marginal gains from the VAX
    5th – Soon the mutated strains will hit India – and that will make the entire VAX supply chain a DUD (as the VAX is useless on the mutated strains)
    6th – Those who took the 1st shot, MAY NOT take the 2nd shot, and that will make the VAX useless
    7th – The Mutated virus in Mexico,Brazil and UK /EU has found new ways to enter and attack the organs.Which is Y the VAX roll out there, is measured and cautious.In other words, the attack protocol of the mutated virus (in terms of its attack methodology on healthy cells) has CHANGED.No one knows what mutations,the Indian VAX will bring
    8th – Whatever Chaiwala touches is doomed – and so will the VAX be doomed
    9th – Issue is NOT many Indians will die in 3 months – it is how many Indians will become Zombies – 3-5 years down the road
    10th – To VAX 300 million will take 5 years, at todays strike rate – which is doom by itself.If 300 million are not vaxed in 9 months – THE VAX will fail in any case
    11th – The VAX should 1st target the high density population areas like Delhi,Mumbai etc – but the Indian VAX numbers on a per capita basis (to local population) IS NOT COMING from the HIGH DENSITY AREAS. Chaiwala is using Snall Town Indians as GUINEA PIGS in the 1st place !

    The most crowd contact, is of Politicians and RSS social workers (who are like John the Baptist).WHY NOT VAX THESE PEOPLE IN THE 1ST PHASE – AND THEN EXPORT TO BRAZIL ?

    Indians have to do back to basics ! dindooohindoo

  2. The Indian COVID VAX disaster !

    The Curse of the Chaiwala (Indian PM) on COVID.

    2 months ago,the daily Indian VAX was 2 lacs.Yesterday it was 27 lacs

    2 months ago,daily COVID cases was 12000,yesterday it was 47000 ! Ain’t this disaster ?

    As the VAX picked up,the COVID cases have trebled,and worse is to come !

    The issue is NOT the dead – but the ease of transmission ! Transmission efficiency has increased – post the VAX ! Y is that I wonder ?

    Chaiwala’s Hindoosthan is heading to a 2nd lockdown ! No other nation is facing this post VAX spike ! Y have the covid cases shot up – are they the VAXed or is it that the VAXed are making antibodies – but the TRANSMISSION HAS SOMEHOW increased (as the VAX was NOT meant to STOP transmissions)

    Another disaster is Brazil (highest number of daily case)! Guess what ? Brazil used the Indian VAX and Bolsonaro wanted the Hanuman Sanjeevni ! This is a dashing Brazilian general with a beautiful wife ! This is what happens to those who come to India,take advice from Chaiwala and become the Chief Guest at the Hindoo Dindoo Republic Day !

    Indian lockdown cometh,which will shut down manufacturing,block GST revenues,cut down on social aid programmes and LOWER GLOBAL OIL AND COMMEX PRICES.

    Who will gain by lowering LOWER GLOBAL OIL AND COMMEX PRICES ? CHINA AND CHAIRMAN XI ! And so in the summer the PLA will return for Tourism,in Ladakh,AP and Bhutan !

    Who will LOSE by lowering LOWER GLOBAL OIL AND COMMEX PRICES ? Aussie,Brazil … – ALL INDIAN STRATEGIC ALLIES AGAINST CHINA !

    Whichever you see it,Hindoosthan and Chaiwala are doomed.dindooohindoo !

    It is the Curse of the Chaiwala (Indian PM) !

    In Phase 3 – the COVID will become MORE DEADLY AND MORE TRANSMISSIBLE AND IN PHASE 3 THE VAXED INDIANS WILL START DYING ! And that is when the PLA will return
