What is CoWIN?

CoWIN stands for Winning against Coronavirus. It is an online or digital system developed by the Government of India for distributing Coronavirus Vaccine effectively. The Cowin app is also under development as most Indian users are mobile friendly for digital purposes.

How Will the Coronavirus Vaccine be Distributed in India?

As we know that India is a highly populated country so distributing Coronavirus Vaccine effectively needs to be planned and executed well. Thus, the Government has decided that in the first phase, people involved with essential services will be vaccinated and that too for free. These include the following categories.

Healthcare Staff

Around 1 Crore healthcare workers from government and private hospitals will receive the vaccine. These include child health staff, nurses, supervisors, paramedical workers, medical officers, support staff, and medical students.

Frontline Heros

The Government will provide vaccines to nearly 2 crore frontline warriors. These include police, armed forces, civil defence, disaster management, prison workers, municipal staff, Covid-19 revenue officers, and other related workers.

50+ Aged

Citizens aging above 50 will get this service regardless of their gender, but priority will be given to 60+ aged people. Age will be counted based on the latest election details and end date for reference will be 1st January 2021.

High Containment Zones

Areas where the Covid-19 infection is high or rapidly rising will get the vaccine first. You can checkout your area for the containment zone via the Aarogya Setu app.

People with illness linked to Covid-19

There are many people having diseases which can lead to severe Covid-19 impact so they will be accounted for. These illnesses include Cancer, Diabetes, Hypertension, Lung infection, and more.

Oxford’s Covishield has completed Phase 3 trial and now authorized in India. All is good.

But Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin is still in Phase 3, there is no data in public domain, and the results are not peer-reviewed. And yet government has approved it in the same way as Covishield is approved! All due to ego and PR. But people must beware.

Arey if ola is known to send a driver without a driving license and uber sends expert drivers only, then why would I even ride with Ola? Moreover, unlike riding a cab, healthcare is a basic right, so if a vaccine is available everyone should get it eventually.

Stop making stupid analogies.
