78 percent vaccination- The central government, despite its best efforts for “digital India”, has not been able to digitally use the Kovid 19 vaccine in India. In fact, the Center admitted in an affidavit to the Supreme Court that more than three-quarters of the total vaccine dose was administered by vaccination on site or without an appointment. According to the information, as of 23.06.2021, out of 32.22 crore beneficiaries, 19.12 crore beneficiaries have been registered in on-site mode. At the same time, according to the data available on Covin, out of the total of 29.68 crore vaccine doses recorded on Covin, 2,312 crore doses were administered by vaccination on site or without an appointment.
The figures presented to the Supreme Court are believed to increase the Supreme Court’s concern over the Centre’s vaccination policy. The central government had launched a phased vaccination campaign against COVID 19 through the digital platform Kovin, in which prior registration was required to receive the dose. The government has made several changes to facilitate online registration on the Kovin platform, such as the introduction of the portal in 14 regional languages, including Hindi and Marathi, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Oriya, Gurmukhi and Bengali.
