Over 16,000 people have registered their names on the CO-WIN portal as vaccine administrators  and almost one lakh have registered as beneficiaries, informs the Maharashtra's Health Secretary Pradeep Vyas. The health secretary while giving a detailed presentation on the state's preparedness to roll out the Covid 19 vaccination has informed that the steering committee headed by Maharashtra's Chief Secretary Sanjay Kumar is preparing itself completely to handle the vaccination.

At present a  chain of 3,135 cold storage centres is made ready and is available to store and move the vaccine to its desired locations across the State. He also added that at initial phase vaccination booths will be set up at primary healthcare clinics and private hospitals to administer the vaccine to healthcare workers. At later stage, those booths will be set up at schools, community halls and civic offices to vaccinate the frontline workers like police personnel, essential services providers, people above the age of 50 and those with co-morbidities. 

As an alarming news, Maharashtra Cyber Cell has issued an advisory to the department, conveyed the warning given by the Interpol in connection to a potential increase in cybercrime scams surrounding the availability of COVID-19 vaccines approval. The state cyber cell also highlighted that organized crime networks could target the vaccine supply chains and create various fake websites selling illegal or fake products.
