No Covid vaccination exercise for next two days. Here’s why

New Delhi: COVID-19 vaccination exercise will not be held for two days from February 27 due to software upgradation, Union Health Ministry said on Friday.

“On this Saturday and Sunday (27th and 28th Feb), the Co-Win digital platform will be transitioning from Co-Win1.0 to Co-Win 2.0. In view of this, COVID 19 Vaccination sessions will not be scheduled during these two days,” the ministry said in a release.

The multi-phase COVID vaccination programme was launched on January 16 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In the first phase healthcare and frontline workers are being covered while in second, starting from March 1, senior citizens and those above 24 with comorbidities will be inoculated.

So far, cumulative COVID-19 vaccination coverage has crossed 1.34 crore, as per official data. (UNI)
