The principal secretary to the prime minister was briefed on this and other matters at a high- level meeting on Wednesday to review the progress of the Covid-19 vaccination drive in the country.
The involvement of private healthcare facilities in a significant way was also discussed as part of the steps to accelerate the pace of covid vaccination<\/a>.
“This will enable registration of the population in the 50 yrs+ category for covid vaccination, which is the third population priority group after the healthcare workers and frontline workers that are presently taking the vaccine,” the government said in a statement. It did not set a timeline.

Officials told The Economic Times that the Co-WIN platform is being updated to let people book appointments for vaccinations by choosing a centre and time of their convenience. Once it is opened up, people above 50 years of age will be able to register and authenticate their age.
“They can pick the place, time and also reschedule the appointment,” said an official involved in the discussions.
The platform is also being readied to enable integration with systems of private hospitals and healthcare centres, once the Centre allows them to administer vaccinations. This will ensure that citizens won’t have to access apps of private organisations to get vaccinated and obtain the vaccination certificate.
RS Sharma, chairperson of the empowered committee for administration of the Covid-19 vaccine, told ET that use of the platform is “non-negotiable” because every vaccination has to be recorded in real-time.
“The platform will provide an application programme interface (API) to the private sector who can push the info about vaccination and the certificates. But the open APIs will be available to those who are authorised by the government,” said Sharma who is also the CEO of the National Health Authority.
APIs are software tools that allow two applications to talk to each other.
Since Co-WIN has now been integrated with Aarogya Setu, it will mean that irrespective of the healthcare provider they use to get the Covid-19 jab, they will be saved from wading through the maze of various apps and interfaces.
According to senior officials, for the government this will mean that the Co-WIN platform that it set up can continue to be used to track beneficiary and vaccine information and ensure there is no duplication and therefore no leakages or misuse. It will also streamline the crucial process of issuing vaccination certificates that could come in handy for travel, seeking employment or returning to offices.
However, top officials said that whether and when the private sector will be roped in for the vaccination drive is a “policy decision” that has to be taken at the “highest level.”
“The framework is important as it will avoid multiplication. When we started testing, it was done by government laboratories and then the private sector took over. Same thing will happen here too,” said a senior official who did not wish to be identified.
The first official quoted above said it would be like the income tax filing system, which can be done on the government-run website or through private applications.
“Similar will be the case with Co-WIN—the choice will be with the citizens—the sharing of data will be both ways,” the official said.
The official said the inoculation drive has to be scaled up significantly because if 1.3 billion people are to be vaccinated, it will take 260 days—at the rate of 5 million a day—to complete administration of the first dose.
“So we have to involve the private sector and the technical architecture is being built in such a way that anyone can build an app over it,” the official said.
ET reported on Wednesday that the supply of Serum Institute of India’s Covishield<\/a> and Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin<\/a> has exceeded usage in the first three weeks of the immunisation drive.
Only 31.45% of Covishield and 11.75% of Covaxin stocks despatched have been administered to healthcare providers, defence personnel and frontline workers between January 16 and February 9. Experts have asked the government to start allowing other priority groups to get vaccinated and involve the private sector to speed up the drive.
The meeting on Wednesday was attended by the cabinet secretary, health secretary, pharmaceutical secretary and the CEO of the National Health Authority.
The government over 9.06 million vaccine doses have been administered and India now ranks third globally, after the US (55.2 million doses) and the UK (16.12 million doses).

同创伟业2.0适合self-registration covid疫苗
同创伟业更新应用程序,可以与私立医院集成系统,将协助人们在50年以上年龄段covid接种疫苗。
新德里消息:政府计划很快推出的2.0版本CoWin移动应用程序,允许人们注册自己Covid-19疫苗接种。
校长秘书向总理汇报了关于这些和其他问题高级别会议周三审查的进度Covid-19接种驱动。
私人医疗设施的参与重大的方式也是讨论的措施加快covid疫苗接种。
“这将使登记的人口在50岁+类别covid接种疫苗,这是第三个人口优先级组后,卫生保健工作者和一线工人,目前的疫苗,”政府在一份声明中说。它没有设置一个时间表。
官员告诉《经济时报》,同创伟业平台更新让人们选择中心和图书预约接种疫苗的时间方便。一旦打开,人们高于50岁可以注册和验证他们的年龄。
“他们可以选择的地方,时间也安排约会,”一位官员说参与讨论。
这个平台也正在准备使集成系统的私人医院和保健中心,一旦中心允许他们管理疫苗。这将确保公民不需要访问应用程序的私人组织接种和获得疫苗接种证书。
RS沙玛,授权管理委员会主席Covid-19疫苗,告诉等使用的平台是“不可转让”,因为每一个疫苗接种必须实时记录。
“平台将提供一个应用程序接口(API)私人部门谁能把信息疫苗接种和证书。但开放api将提供给那些由政府授权,“Sharma说也是国家卫生部门的首席执行官。
api是软件工具,允许两个应用程序相互交谈。
因为同创伟业已经集成了Aarogya是以,这将意味着无论他们所使用的医疗服务提供者Covid-19疫苗,他们将免于涉水通过各种应用和接口的迷宫。
政府高级官员称,这将意味着同创伟业平台设置可以继续被用来跟踪受益人和疫苗信息并确保没有重复,因此没有泄漏或滥用。它还将简化发行疫苗接种证书的关键过程,可以为旅游派上用场,寻求就业或回到办公室。
然而,高级官员表示,当私营部门能否说服了疫苗接种的驱动是一种“决策”,必须在“最高水平”。
“框架是很重要的,因为它将避免乘法。当我们开始测试时,它是由政府实验室和私营部门接管。同样的事情会发生,”一位不愿具名的高级官员。
上面的第一个官方引述说,这就像所得税申报系统,可在政府网站上或通过私人应用程序完成的。
“类似的情况Co-WIN-the选择将与市民:共享数据两个方面,”这位官员说。
官员表示,预防接种运动中必须显著扩大,因为如果13亿人接种疫苗,需要260天500万的速度形成完整的管理第一剂量。
”所以我们必须涉及私营部门和技术架构是建立在这样一个方式,任何人都可以建立一个应用程序,”这位官员说。
等周三报道,印度血清研究所的供应Covishield巴拉特生物技术的Covaxin已超过使用前三周的免疫接种。
Covishield只有31.45%和11.75%的股票Covaxin派遣实施卫生保健提供者,国防人员和一线工人1月16日至2月9日。专家们要求政府开始允许其他优先群体接种和涉及私营部门加快开车。
会议出席了周三的内阁部长,卫生部长、医药秘书和国家卫生部门的首席执行官。
政府管理超过906万剂疫苗和印度现在在全球排名第三,仅次于美国(5520万份)和英国(1612万份)。
