Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched on Saturday what his government has described as the "world's largest vaccination programme". In the eastern states of Odisha and West Bengal, officials said they were forced to use printouts on Saturday due to issues with the app. "The system performance and speed was improved and is being further optimised," Manohar Agnani, a senior health ministry official, said on Saturday. The eastern state of West Bengal was still encountering glitches on Sunday. "The problem is yet to be fixed and we are facing serious impediments," said Dr. Ajoy Chakraborty, director of West Bengal health services.
