On Monday, the CM of the coastal state mentioned that 5 government and 3 private hospitals have been identified for setting the mass inoculation drive in motion. He further added that the vaccination programme would be finalised after a video conference with the Prime Minister, scheduled to be held later on Monday. As per reports, around 100 vaccinations would be conducted at each of these 8 facilities in a day, which amounts to 800 shots per day.

The chosen health facilities include Goa Medical College (near Panaji), Hospicio Hospital (Margao), Asilo Hospital (Mapusa), Chicalim Health Centre (Vasco), Sub District Hospital (Ponda), Manipal Hospital (near Panaji), Healthway Hospital (Old Goa) and Victor Hospital (Margao), for the first phase of the immunization hurl. "A meeting of all concerned departments related to the vaccination programme will be held later after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's video conference with chief ministers," the CM commented.

Following the rest of country, Goa too will initiate its vaccination programme on January 16 and all the involved healthcare workers who will be the recipients of the vaccine, will be closely monitored for its side-effects. As yet, Goa has already conducted two successful mock drills of the immunization process, to calibrate its preparedness for the upcoming drive.
