| Popis: | Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination has proved its importance and effectiveness in the fight against COVID-19. India began the world’s largest vaccination campaign against COVID-19 on 16th January 2021 with two vaccines, namely, Covishield and Covaxin. Aims: The present study was conducted to understand the trend of COVID-19 vaccination during the 1st year of the vaccination drive at a COVID Vaccination Centre in a tertiary care hospital of Uttarakhand. Patients and Methods: It was a retrospective record-based study conducted at a COVID-19 Vaccination Centre in a tertiary care hospital of Uttarakhand. Vaccination-related data of 1-year period (16th January 2021–16th January 2022) had been collected from the CoWIN app and COVID-19 vaccination register and analysed. Results: The total dose administered was 63,015 over a time period of 1 year during 299 vaccination sessions that were conducted. Analysis of total doses administered in relation to vaccination sessions held during different months of 1-year study period shows that on average, 199 individuals per session were vaccinated. There was an overall declining trend in the COVID-19 vaccine wastage rate for 1-year period of COVID-19 vaccination. Conclusion: This study will help us to understand how this experience of the past 1 year can be utilised for further planning and policy making. |
