COVID Vaccine, Jan 16:<\/strong> The COVID19 vaccination drive began in West Bengal on Saturday morning, with a doctor of a private hospital receiving the first shot.<\/p>\n

Raja Chowdhury, a group D worker at SSKM hospital, Kolkata is the first person who got inoculated in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel amazing after this vaccination. A security guard has checked by temperature and sanitization has been done. Then I registered myself and my ID card has been checked. I was sitting in a waiting room after that I got a vaccine dose<\/strong>,\u201d Chowdhury said.<\/p>\n

West Bengal’s Minister of State for Labour Nirmal Maji also received the Covishield vaccine<\/a><\/span> at the Kolkata Medical College and Hospital, the officials said.<\/p>\n

The vaccination program started at 210 session sites, including medical colleges, urban primary healthcare centres, and a few private hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am feeling proud of myself as I am the first person to accept the vaccine in Kolkata. Everyone should be aware of this. Nothing to worry about<\/strong>“, Raja added.<\/p>\n

Kolkata has been allocated the highest number of Covid19 vaccines in West Bengal, at 93,500, for the first phase of the vaccination drive.<\/p>\n

North 24 Parganas district has been allocated the second-highest number of Covid vaccines at 47,000, followed by Murshidabad at 37,500. West Bengal has been allocated 6, 44,500 vaccines for the first phase of the drive.<\/p>\n

Five walk-in-coolers (WICs) and four walk-in-freezers<\/a><\/span> (WIFs) have been installed at the Bagbazar store for stockpiling 6.89 lakh vials, which would be dispatched to 941 centres across Bengal.<\/p>\n

A cold chain is a temperature-controlled unit, where handlers are responsible for the storage and preservation of vaccines for immunizations and last-mile delivery. There are 25-40 cold chain centres in each Bengal district where vaccines such as polio or tuberculosis are preserved. Maintaining the required temperature range of 2-8 degrees Celsius while storing and transporting the vaccine is important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
