ONLY 13 AT JJ HOSPITAL

There were only 13 beneficiaries who were inoculated at JJ Hospital, a Covaxin-administering centre, on Tuesday. This was because the hospital received an old list of beneficiar y names instead of a fresh one. Officials attributed this to the massive glitch in the CoWin application, saying the app fails to identify repeat names as it generates the subsequent list.

Dr Lalit Sankhe, in-charge of the vaccine centre at JJ hospital said they were awaiting the new list beneficiaries through the CoWin app, but found out on Tuesday that the list was the same as that generated on January 16 and those named had already been vaccinated that day. “The list we received had the same names as on Saturday. So, of the 61 shortlisted people who couldn't get vaccinated on Saturday, 13 were inoculated today,” he said.
