Festive offer

“However we are getting doses in small batches and the last time we got the vaccine doses was two days ago, when the district obtained 29,000 Covaxin and 29,500 Covishield doses. So, on some days, vaccination continues at a slow pace, For instance on June 9, the target was to administer vaccine doses to 25,940 beneficiaries in the district. Of these, we were able to administer doses (both first and second shots) to a total of 27,513 beneficiaries.,” Dr Deshmukh said.

“We are expecting a larger number of doses in the next 10 days ,” he added.

Students’ vaccination to be expedited

Pune Municipal corporation health authorities said a special drive for four days had ensured that at least 1,500 students who wanted to travel abroad for higher studies were administered the vaccine dose.

“We are now waiting for the CoWin app to be updated so that it will be easier for more students and persons wanting to travel abroad for jobs to apply for the vaccine,” said a PMC health official.

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has received several representations for allowing administration of second dose of Covishield to persons who want to travel abroad for either educational or employment purposes and even as part of the India’s contingent for Tokyo Olympics.

Currently, the minimum interval between the two doses is 84 days from the date of the first dose. However, there are several whose travel dates fall prior to completion of this mandated period. While the Centre has allowed special dispensation of vaccine doses to these categories, officials are waiting for changes to be made in the CoWin app, where instead of the column of 84 days, it can be made 28 days.
