India’s COVID Vaccination Programme Explained: Who Will Get It First, What Is The Process And Other Things You Need To Know

As India plans to roll out the massive vaccination drive for coronavirus in coming days, we speak to experts to decode the process of vaccination programme for COVID-19 - who will get COVID-19 vaccine first, how can one register

In the phase one of the coronavirus vaccination drive in the country, the COVID-19 vaccine will first be given to around one crore healthcare workers working in both government and private hospitals, according to the recommendation by the National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19 (NEGVAC). Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan had also said the same while informing the public about India’s COVID-19 vaccination drive. He had said,
“In 1st phase of COVID-19 Vaccination drive, free vaccine will be provided across the nation to most prioritised beneficiaries that include 1 crore healthcare workers.” 
These healthcare workers have further been divided into sub-categories like frontline, health and Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) workers, nurses and supervisors, medical officers, paramedical staff, support staff and students.
All the data for the same has been collected by the government and is being fed into CoWIN, a digital platform to roll out and scale up the vaccination drive in India.

3. Population Above 50 Years Of Age
This group is divided into two sub-categories: Above 60 and 50-60 years of age. Speaking to NDTV about the vaccination drive in India, Dr Randeep Guleria, Director AIIMS said,

We will be looking at the latest electoral data for Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly elections to identify the population under this category for the vaccination drive. But there can be people who can get left out, so if one falls in that category, they can simply go to the CoWin app and register themselves by using any of their photo identification card such as AADHAAR Card, driving license, and others

.

Less than 50-years, we have developed a group, where the person will get a score depending upon the severity of his/her disease which he/she will feed in the grid prepared in the CoWin app. Higher the score, chances of getting vaccinated first will be high. Say, for example, if we have a person who has diabetes for last 10 years and he has a kidney disease or retinopathy, he will get a higher score and comes on the priority list of our vaccination drive in this group as compared to someone who has developed diabetes recently. He will come low in the priority list. Similarly, if someone has a respiratory illness and needs regular supply of oxygen, even at home on day-to-day basis, he will come on the top of this priority list as compared to someone who has mild bronchitis.


How To Register Yourself For COVID-19 Vaccine?

Self-registration module will be made available in the later phases of the implementation of the vaccine drive. The general public, which is not in the priority list will have to self-register themselves on the CoWIN website/app. They will have to upload a government photo identity or do an AADHAAR authentication. The authentication can happen via biometrics, OTP (one time password) or demographic. Once the registration is done, a date and time will be allocated for vaccination. There will be no on the spot registration and only pre-registered beneficiaries will be allowed to proceed for the vaccination.

Vaccination Sites: Where You Will Get Vaccinated

According to the health ministry, vaccine sites have been allocated for different priority groups. Following are the vaccination sites:

Fixed Session Site: These sites include health facilities – both government and private – where either a medical officer or a doctor is available is defined as a fixed session site

Outreach Session Site: Locations other than health facilities such as schools, community halls, come under this list

Special Mobile Team: For remote, hard-to-reach areas, migratory populations areas and international borders areas, district administrations will plan the vaccination drive via the special mobile team

The Vaccination Process: What To Expect

The vaccination site will have three rooms:

Waiting room: Where one will wait before you get the vaccine

Vaccination room: A place where you will be given the vaccine

Observation room: An area where you will be observed for 30 minutes post receiving the vaccine

A five-member vaccination team will be entrusted with the process:

Vaccination officer 1: For pre-checking the registration

Vaccination officer 2: For authentication

Vaccination officer 3: In-charge of giving vaccine. Since it is an intramuscular vaccine, a trained professional will administer the vaccine

Vaccination officer 4 and 5: In-charge of crowd management and 30-minute observation
