NEW DELHI: Ninety-seven per cent of the people who gave their feedback after receiving Covid-19 vaccine dose are satisfied with the overall experience, Health Ministry said on Tuesday.
Addressing a press conference here, Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said under CoWin response system, the Health Ministry is using a Rapid Assessment System (RAS) of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) for taking feedback from the people receiving Covid-19 vaccine dose during pan-India Covid-19 vaccination drive.
CoWin is a mobile app to manage the vaccination drive.
Bhushan said the process of taking feedback started from January 17, 2021. Personalized SMS were sent to all beneficiaries a day after vaccination. SMS contains the name of person, dose (first/ second), and a URL for feedback. Once the user confirmed for vaccination against his/ her name, five questions were asked to which they gave responses, Bhushan said.
The government, on February 4, had ordered Twitter to block 1,178 accounts with links to Pakistan and Khalistan supporters that were spreading misinformation and provocative content on farmers protest.
