This rule of human affairs, works universally
A corollary to this rule says : Everything cannot be anticipated
But neither of these,- rule and its corollary – , should
hold back our Covid Vaccination drive which was
launched yesterday by PM Shri Modiji
Whether it is number of :
Ø Vaccine
vials
Ø People
to be vaccinated
Ø Centres
where vaccines will be administered
Ø Doctors
/ Technicians who will be giving the shots
Ø Workers
manning the Vaccination centres
Ø Transport
Vehicles / Cold Storage devices / Disposable Syringes
Ø Mobile-based
communication messages…. Etc .,
-
We are talking of thousands / lakhs /
crores !
Mistakes will get made by Men – Machines – Media –
Medicines – Methods !
Even if those mistakes slow down the drive, these must
not deter us
We must learn from each and every mistake and make
course-correction
Following are a few examples :
CoWIN server slows down in Maharashtra, health dept
faces trouble
Due to technical glitches, the server slowed down. The health
department faced trouble informing details of the vaccination to registered
beneficiaries.
Minor
glitches in Co-WIN but drive completed successfully
CoWIN
loses: Maharashtra Covid vaccination drive on halt for 2 days
Amid
Massive Vaccine Rollout, West Bengal Faces Roadblock as CoWIN App Faces Glitch
on Day 1
Hope,
Tentative Turnouts and Co-WIN Glitches Mark Day One of Vaccine Rollout in Delhi

BMC won’t develop new app, to use Co-WIN / HT / 16 Jan – Print Version
Extract :
“ We had decided to develop a similar App to help us to
control it according to our needs. But to avoid any confusion among the
beneficiaries over two different apps, we have
abandoned the plan. Now, we will only focus on Co-WIN “, said additional
Municipal commissioner , Suresh Kakani

COVID-19 vaccine / Free
Press – 14 Dec 2020
Marching with Matched Steps ?
===================================================
Co-WIN
server slows down, leads to chaos
/ HT / 16
January 2021
Extract :
“Due to some technical
glitches, the server of CoWin app has slowed down. Thus, we aren’t able to send
message to the registered beneficiaries. So we
have created a WhatsApp
group, where all the beneficiaries of each district
have been added, and we are sending a message in
those groups, informing them about
the vaccination centres and timings,” said state
immunisation officer Dr Dilip Patil.
My Undestanding :
Under the revised
Privacy Rules of WhatsApp, a message that tells a person to visit a centre at a
specified date / time, is a BUSINESS
MESSAGE. That means, personal
data of all these “ groups “ of beneficiaries, will be shared by WhatsApp with its parent company Facebook, which reserves its rights to sell these data
to any other party ! Most likely the
personal data of the Doctor / Health-worker, sending that message, as well ! )
===================================================
And now for some “ Good
News “ :
PM to launch Co-WIN App today as formal vaccination
drive kicks off / ET
COVID-19 vaccination
drive: All you need to know about the integral CoWIN app /
Busi Today
Extract :
Ø However, the app is not yet
functional. It is likely to be open to the general
public for registration by the end of March 2021.
Ø Meanwhile, the app is being
populated with the data of 1 crore healthcare workers who would receive the
coronavirus vaccine in the first phase. So far only officials have access to it.
Ø The app has four modules,
including User Administrator, Beneficiary Registration, Vaccination and Beneficiary Acknowledgement, and Status Updation.
THE BACK-END MODULE
Ø
The back-end module will show
the ones managing the details what is happening at block-level cod chain
points. The app will flag in case of power outage or any other issue.
Ø
The primary function of the
application currently is to see temperature loggers and send real-time
information to the central server.
ADMINISTRATOR MODULE
Ø The
app will track the beneficiaries as well as vaccination session
planning and management.
REGISTRATION MODULE
Ø
Users can register to get
vaccinated on CoWIN app. The app can be downloaded for free and one can self-register. It will
also be used to record vaccine data.
Ø
Common Service Cntres can
also help one register at the block level. Managers
can upload bulk data.
Ø
Vaccination details such as when the dose was given and when the second one is due can be
verified.
BENEFICIARY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Ø
A certificate with a QR code
will be given after vaccination. It will also track dropouts. Sessions held and
upcoming sessions will also be monitored.
WHAT DOCUMENTS WILL BE REQUIRED
Ø
Users will need to upload a
valid photo ID for registration. Aadhaar, driving licence, voter ID, PAN card, passport, job card or
pension document must be produced. One can also submit Health Insurance Smart
Card, MGNREGA card, official IDs issued by MPs, MLAs or MLCs. Passbooks issued
by bank or post office and service ID card issued by state or central
government and public limited companies would also be accepted.
