Maharashtra pauses COVID-19 vaccine drive due to technical issues with CoWIN app

The COVID-19 vaccination drive, which kicked off across the country on January 16, has been temporarily halted in Maharashtra.

As per ANI reports, COVID-19 vaccine drive will be halted in Maharashtra until January 18 due to technical issues with the CoWIN app.

Maharashtra is not the only one to pause the exercise. Earlier, the Odisha government said it would pause the first phase of the COVID-19 vaccination drive for a day.

The Odisha administration decided not to conduct the coronavirus vaccination drive on January 17 to observe if those who received the COVID-19 vaccine on January 16 developed any complications from the jab.
