Covaxin in 3 centres, Covishield in 5; Here is the new vaccination plan for Silchar

After a hiatus of two days, consignments of Covishield vaccines have reached Cachar District. The administration informed that Covaxin will be available for second doses only in three centres tomorrow. Covaxin stock was available and vaccination continued.

However, there was a chaotic disruption in Covishield inoculation. Tomorrow, according to a statement issued by the Cachar district administration, Covishield will be available in five centres across Silchar town.

The three centres where Covaxin will be available are, Nazirpatty Model Primary, Trunk Road Urban Primary Health Care Centre and Durga Shankar Pathshala in Ambicapatty. Each centre will inoculate 200 doses. Out of them, 190 doses will be assigned to the beneficiaries who have booked their slots and 10 will be kept reserved for on the spot registration.

The five centres where Covishield will be available are, BC Roy Memorial School in Rongpur, Pulin Bihari School in Itkhola, TT College in Link Road, Haji Koramtollah Patshala in Water Works Road and Durga Shankar Patshala in Ambicapatty.

“No pre registration required for Covishield beneficiaries. They can register on the spot and get their doses. All of them must carry age proof with them. The vaccination is open to all above 18 years old,” stated the press statement.

It is worth mentioning here that the disruption in the Covishield supply had forced the Cachar administration to slow down the vaccination drive. Many beneficiaries were returned from the centres. Today morning, a chaotic situation broke at BC Roy centre in Rongpur where angry locals blocked the road. Police, magistrates had to intervene in order to free the road and bring situation under control.
