NEW DELHI: Amid concerns about software glitches in Co-win, the government said the software is robust and the issues are related to data in specific states like Maharashtra. “There are no software-related glitches. The platform can handle much more traffic than it is
getting right now, ”RS Sharma, chief executive of National Health Authority and head of the Empowered Group on Covid-19 vaccinations, told TOI.
The comments come in the wake of session sites reporting a delay in vaccination because of use of Co-Win. However, officials say the delay is mostly from those sites where the beneficiary data have not been pre-populated into the system. Officials also pointed to the differences between states in achieving vaccination targets, which point to factors in addition to just Co-Win.
Co-Win platform has a capacity to handle up to 50 lakh vaccinations per day. Till Thursday, a total of around 1.3 crore vaccine doses were given to health and frontline workers.
Officials also explained that Co-Win is merely an enhancement of an already existing e-VIN system which has been in use for long for child immunization in the country and all states are familiar with its operations.
