ABSTRACT
If 2020 was all about Staying Alive then hopefully 2021 would be remembered as the year of vaccines that has come up with a fresh set of challenges with introduction of COVID-19 vaccines, making a steady progress towards the end of COVID-19 pandemic. In the upcoming few years, the nations and healthcare sectors will face the intimidating task of distribution and administration of COVID-19 vaccines worldwide. This global urgency is often called as Vial fever. The myths about acceptability, procurement, storage, distribution and monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines are evolving day by day. In order to refute such myths, the newer concepts like Dry Run need to be introduced to ensure effective preparedness for the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out.
Keywords: Vial fever, COVID-19 vaccines, Dry Run.
