Covid-19 vaccination has been temporarily suspended till 18th January in the entire state of Maharashtra due to technical issues with CoWIN App. The inoculation drive suffered minor setbacks on Day 1 at some places due to glitches in the CoWIN app. In Maharashtra's Thane, the vaccination was halted temporarily when the connection to the CoWIN website was lost. As a result, messages were not being delivered to the beneficiaries.

The state authorities said that there were no connection issues when it was tested on 15 January. In West Bengal, health workers had trouble uploading beneficiary data, as the app had reportedly slowed down. Tamil Nadu officials in Nilgiris too reported that they were unable to send post-vaccination acknowledgement to several beneficiaries. Maharashtra became the second state after Odisha to temporarily suspend the vaccination drive. The Odisha administration has decided to halt the first phase of Covid-19 vaccination for a day on Sunday to observe those who received the vaccine on Saturday.
