On Wednesday, Jharkhnad received the first batch of coronavirus vaccine that arrived at Birsa Munda Airport in Ranchi, and was moved by a pilot vehicle to the state vaccine centre amid tight security.
As many as 16,200 vials have reportedly arrived in Jharkhand. One vial contains 10 doses of vaccine. The vaccine, therefore, is sufficient for 1,60,000 beneficiaries.
It has been stored in an ice-lined refrigerator at the desired temperature. Three days ahead of the launching of the vaccination campaign, the first batch has arrived, and the government will dispatch it to the 129 centres identified for the launching date.
The regional vaccine centre at Palamu, Deoghar, and Jamshedpur have been asked to collect their shares. They will further dispensate it to respective centres in Palamu, Santhal, and Kolhan divisions. Around 100 will be administered the dose at each centre.
Health secretary Nitin Kulkarni said that proper sanctity and protocols will be maintained during the transportation and distribution of doses of vaccine.
