Covid-19 Vaccine
More than 80 lakh people registered for Covid vaccine in 3 hours: Centre
New Delhi/IBNS: Registration for the new eligible population groups to get inoculated against Covid-19 commenced on Wednesday from 4 pm and within three hours, the government received over 80 lakhs registration.
Potential beneficiaries can register directly on CoWINportal (cowin.gov.in) or through the Aarogya Setu app.
The Centre's Liberalised and Accelerated Phase 3 Strategy of Covid-19 Vaccination will be implemented from May 1.
Some of the media reports on Wednesday suggested that the Co-WIN platform was unresponsive/overshooting the server capacity and was not able to respond to the unprecedented number of registrations taking place.
"It is clarified that the media reports that the server has crashed are incorrect and are without any basis. The server supporting the Co-Win digital portal continues to work smoothly at its highest efficiency," the government said in a statement.
"People are registering on the platform, mostly of age-group 18-44. It witnessed more than 80 lakh people registered themselves on the portal, with 3 hours from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm," it added.
The Co-Win app registered 383 million API hits, which was initially as high as 2.7 million hits per minute.
As many as 1.45 crore SMSs were successfully delivered, the government said in a statement.
"These statistics indicate that far from crashing or performing slowly, the system is performing without any glitches. It is recording 55,000 hits per second and is completely stable. Detailed statistics relating to registration, vaccinations etc., can be seen on dashboard.cowin.gov.in." the statement added.
