Corona Vaccine Registration: The facility will not be currently available for private Covid vaccine centers, and private CVCs will have to publish their immunization program with slots specifically for online appointments.
New Delhi: On Monday, the Union Department of Health has now opened site registrations / facilitated cohort registration in place of the CoWIN digital platform for the 18-44 age group but will be provided with Government COVID Vaccination Centers (CVCs).
The initiative is designed to reduce vaccine wastage and provide vaccinations for those with limited telephone and cell phone access.
According to the release certain points have been laid for the same:
- In the case of sessions exclusively organized with online slots, towards the end of the day, some doses may still be left unutilized in case the online appointee beneficiaries do not turn up on the day of vaccination due to any reason. In such cases, on-site registration of a few beneficiaries may be necessary to minimise vaccine wastage.
- Even though CoWIN provides for features such as registration of up to 4 beneficiaries with a mobile number, facilitated registration and appointments through applications, such as ArogyaSetu and Umang and through the Common Service Centres etc., people requiring facilitated cohort’s facility and those without access to the internet or smartphones or mobile phones may still have limited access for vaccination.
