Here is what happens in a Covid-19 vaccination dry run As India inches closer to rolling out the vaccine, the government kicked off a two-day dry run on Monday in four states. So, what happens in a dry run? How is it carried out? A report in The Quint explains. The dry run began in Punjab, Assam, Andhra Pradesh, and Gujarat. The purpose of the dry run is to identify gaps in the process and remedy them before the actual drive begins, expected to be early next year. The dry run process will include all the steps except for the actual vaccination, the report said. The drill will include registration of the beneficiary on the government s Co-Win app, testing the allocation of vaccination site, the process to be followed at the site of vaccination, and testing cold storage and transportation arrangements.
How is Delhi airport preparing to handle Covid-19 vaccine rollout As India inches closer towards an unprecedented vaccine rollout, the spotlight now turns to the airports that will play a critical role in the storage and distribution of the inoculants. This report in The Quint provides a glimpse into the preparations underway at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, the country s largest. The big questions are if the cargo terminal has enough storage capacity and how is the airport planning to handle the temperature requirements for the vaccine? The cargo terminal can handle 1.5 lakh million ton of cargo a year. The terminals are likely to function 24 7. Both of Delhi s cargo terminals have set up temperature-controlled zones and cool chambers. Cool Dollies will be at play to ensure that temperature remains intact as the vaccines go from terminal to aircraft and vice-versa, according to the report.
