MUMBAI/PUNE: Details of over 90,000 healthcare workers and 16,245 vaccinators from Maharashtra have been uploaded on Co-win-the Central software to track vaccine movement-till December 8, it was revealed at the first meeting of the state Covid-19 vaccine steering committee held on Wednesday.
An estimated 2.6 lakh health workers from the government sector will be immunised, while numbers from private health sector are still being collated. Health workers cannot get a vaccine unless they are registered, the state said.
As per preliminary plans, the state has decided to administer the vaccine only in hospitals, unlike the routine immunisation programme where even schools and anganwadis are used. It is apparently to tackle any serious adverse event on the spot. Medical facilities above rural hospitals such as sub-district, district, corporation hospitals and medical colleges could be the main centres, an official said.
