    Ahead of nationwide exercise, COVID-19 vaccine dry run in Haryana
  • A dry run of the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out was conducted in Haryana on Thursday, a day before the exercise will be conducted across India.

    A dry run is a mock drill where everything except vaccine administering is tested.

    The exercise, which was held across all 22 districts of the state, was aimed at identifying challenges in vaccine delivery to help resolve them.
