Registration for the COVID-19 vaccine in India for people between the ages of 18 and 44 will take effect from 4pm today (Wednesday, April 28). This will be phase 3 of a vaccination campaign in India that will expand existing vaccinations for people aged 45 and over.
Registration for the COVID-19 vaccine is compulsory and requires qualified people to have official proof of Indian identity such as a PAN card or other government ID. India last reported more than 350,000 cases a day, the highest in the world.
The government will begin the process of registering people between the ages of 18 and 44 at 4pm via the CoWIN portal, as well as the Aarogya Setu and Umang applications, the official MyGovIndia account posted on Twitter on Wednesday.
Registration was initially announced from midnight (12am), but was postponed to 4pm. At the time of writing, Aarogya Setu’s official account wrote on Twitter that although CoWIN library registration is now open, scheduling of immunizations should be set by national governments and private immunization centers, so it may take longer before you can actually make an appointment.
After registration, the all-eligible immunization campaign will start from May 1. However, it will be about the availability of vaccines. Nominations for public and private institutions will depend on how many vaccines are ready for May 1 to vaccinate people over the age of 18, a MyGovIndia account posted on twitter.
How to register for the COVID-19 vaccine?
Online registration of the COVID-19 vaccine is compulsory for people between the ages of 18 and 44, according to the FAQ section of the CoWIN section. This means that unlike people aged 45 and over, people between the ages of 18 and 44 are unlikely to qualify for immediate enrollment (travel nomination).
You need to have a mobile number to register for the COVID-19 vaccine online. The government also needs valid proof of India ID. This could be your Aadhaar card, driver’s license, PAN card, passport, pension pass letter, NPR smart card, or voting ID card (e-elector photo ID card). As mentioned, you can register on the CoWIN website, or through the Aarogya Setu or Umang app.
