Third-party apps like Paytm and Eka.Care have now enabled CoWIN appointment scheduling to schedule COVID-19 vaccinations. You can now log into the Paytm or Eka.Care app to book your vaccination spot instead of the CoWIN app. Previously, Aarogya Setu, UMANG, or the CoWIN portal were the only ways to sign up for a COVID-19 vaccine.

The Aarogya Setu app, a Bluetooth-based COVID-19 tracker, was developed by the National Informatics Center under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeiTY) of the Government of India.

UMANG (Unified New Time Management Mobile App) is a one-stop platform for all Indian citizens to access India-wide e-government services. The app was developed by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the National Electronic Governance Department (NeGD) to promote mobile governance in the country.

In May 2021, the government released a change that allowed third-party apps to allow COVID-19 vaccination records.

CoWIN assignment via Paytm app

You can make an appointment with CoWIN for COVID-19 vaccine by going to the Vaccine Finder in the Paytm app. The vaccine search option, launched in May 2021, is available on the home screen of the Paytm app. You can also access the Vaccine Finder through the search bar.

Enter your PIN and age group in the vaccine search box, or you can browse the slot section according to your state. Once you choose your area and age group, you can choose if you are planning your first or second dose. After choosing the appropriate option, click "Book".

You can then select the center where you would like to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Paytm's Vaccine Finder also allows you to choose from free and paid centers, as well as centers that specifically administer the COVISHIELD vaccine.

Then enter your phone number to receive a one-time password from CoWIN. Your booking will be confirmed after successful verification of the one-time password. You will receive an appointment form to take to the vaccination center.

Both in the version of the Paytm application for iOS and in Android, it is possible to order vaccinations against COVID-19.

CoWIN assignment via Eka.Care app

You can also make an appointment with CoWIN for COVID-19 vaccination by selecting the Check Vaccine Availability option in the Eka.Care app. Register with your phone number in the Eka.Care app to reserve your vaccination spot.

Similar to the Paytm app, the Eka.Care app will show centers based on vaccine type, age group, dose and fee. You can choose your preferred center and location for the vaccine.

After confirming your booking, you will receive an appointment form. Be sure to take the form to the vaccination center.
