In its bid to be ready for the COVID-19 vaccination drive as soon as vaccines are available, India is carrying out a nationwide vaccine dry run today (January 2). It can be seen as a trial run before the actual vaccination begins. Different states and union territories all over the country have prepared to test the operational feasibility required for vaccination through this drive. A trial run was earlier conducted in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, and Assam on December 28 and 29. The current exercise is being carried out in all states in a minimum of three sites. It is being conducted in as many as 116 districts across 259 sites. Check out these recent pictures of the COVID-19 vaccine dry run from different cities and states in the country:
