NEW DELHI: On Saturday, when the Covid-19 vaccination drive started, 4,319 out of 8,117 beneficiaries got inoculated at 81 centres. On Monday, day two of the drive, the number of vaccinators and centres will remain the same, but, apart from the vaccine doses, the authorities are also armed with valuable lessons learnt on the first day."Though the exercise was streamlined on Saturday and there were no major problems at any centre, glitches were faced in the Co-WIN app. Thankfully, backup hard copies of all records were available and technical glitches didn't derail the exercise," said a government official. "The problems have been rectified and, hopefully, there won't be any glitches Monday onwards," he added.Another area that might see further enhancement are the observation booths at the centres. "There were 52 instances of adverse events following immunisation.

Teens with anxiety, depression may benefit from peer confidants at school
WASHINGTON: Three-quarters of parents in a new national poll think peers better understand teen challenges including depression and anxiety, compared to teachers or counsellors in the school. The majority also agree that peer support leaders at school would encourage more teens to talk with someone about their mental health problems. These are findings to C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health at Michigan Medicine. "Peers may provide valuable support for fellow teens struggling with emotional issues because they can relate to each other," says Mott Poll Co-Director Sarah Clark, M.P.H.
