The ratio of registrations on CoWIN website for vaccination to doses administered has improved to 6.5: 1 from an "alarming" 11:1 a week ago, Dr RS Sharma, chairman of the Empowered Group on Technology and Data Management to combat COVID-19, said Saturday. Overall, with over 244 million registrations and more than 167 million receiving at least one dose (according to data at 7 pm, May 29), the shortfall explains the current proceedings, which will naturally catch up as time passes and there is a larger supply of vaccines, he said. Examining the issue of unavailability of vaccination slots, he said the noise started surfacing after registrations for 18 to 44 years age group were opened up on April 28. "One would be amazed to learn how steeply skewed the demand-supply for vaccines has been in this age bracket. The ratio of registrations to doses administered stands at 6.5: 1, which was an alarming 11:1 a week before," an official statement quoted him as saying.
