Description

No Need of Registration for Vaccination

Date - 16th Jun 2021

The Union Health Ministry announced on June 15, 2021, that any individual over the age of 18 can walk into the nearest vaccination centre where the vaccinator will perform the on-site registration on CoWIN digital platform and will also provide vaccination in the same visit. As per the Government, the pre-registration for the vaccination through online registration and the prior booking of the appointment digitally on CoWIN is not mandatory to get vaccinated.

The decision has been taken to increase the pace of vaccinations as well as to tackle vaccine hesitancy. To further make the vaccination process seamless, the ministry informed that the ‘COVID-19 vaccination Communication Strategy’ has also been shared with the State/UT Governments.

Earlier on May 24, 2021, the Government had allowed walk-in registration for the people in the 18-44 age groups who are without the access to internet or smartphones. As per the notification, they were allowed to walk in for help to register on CoWIN platform and get an appointment to be vaccinated against Coronavirus.

Various modes for COVID registration on CoWIN

The Health Ministry while announcing the decision stated that the facilitated on-site registration through the Common Service Centers (CSCs) on CoWIN is just many modes of COVID registration on the digital platform.

The facilitators such as Health Workers or ASHAs also mobilize the beneficiaries in the rural areas and those living in urban slums, for the on-site registration and vaccination directly at the nearest vaccination centers.
