| description | Background and aims: India started vaccination against COVID-19 on 16th January 2021. Present study was conducted to describe the trends in the number of beneficiaries vaccinated at a tertiary care hospital in India against the dynamic background of changing contextual factors. Methods: This was a descriptive records-based study conducted at one of the COVID vaccination centre from January 2021 to June 2021. Data on dose-wise daily number of beneficiaries in various categories were collected and analyzed using Excel. The website of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), India, press releases and news reports of major media houses were reviewed. Results: The peaks observed in number of beneficiaries vaccinated were mainly due to opening up of program for new categories of beneficiaries in a phased manner, announcements made to complete the vaccination coverage within a stipulated time for some categories and publication of trial results by vaccine manufacturers. The dips could be attributed to essential requirement of certain documents, major festivals, disastrous second wave and resulting lockdown in state. Conclusion: The time-trend may not remain uniform across the course, but can be predicted in advance to some extent by analyzing past trends. Minimizing the avoidable dips and peaks and managing the unavoidable ones will help in improving the service delivery and beneficiary satisfaction. |
