Use of digital platform for tracking

Vaccination will be given to only pre-registered people at the place of vaccination so that priority can be set. At the same time no provision for registration is currently made.
12 photo identity cards will be valid for self-registration on the Co-Win website for vaccination. These include voter ID card, Aadhaar card, driving license, passport and pension documents.

According to ‘Covid Vaccine Operational Guidelines’, all measures should be taken to ensure that no carrier, vial or ice pack carrying the vaccine is directly exposed to sunlight.
Vaccines and other liquids will not be removed from the carrier until a person is present at the vaccination center to be vaccinated.
