Recently, India approved two vaccines against novel coronavirus Covishield by Serum Institute of India and Covaxin developed by Bharat Biotech. The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) granted restricted emergency approval to the two COVID-19 vaccines in the country
Nearly 30 crore people will receive the vaccine during the first phase of vaccination.
The government has said there’s no need for self-registration by healthcare and frontline workers for coronavirus vaccination as their data will be taken from bulk database on Co-WIN Vaccine Delivery management system.
For around 27 crore people, part of the prioritised group that includes people aged 50 and above, there’ll be provisions of registration or editing of data, it added.
At the vaccination site, only pre-registered beneficiaries will be vaccinated in accordance with the prioritization. There will be no provision for on the-spot registrations. Once the registration is complete, the beneficiary will receive SMS on their registered mobile number on the due date, place and time of vaccination.
The photo-identity documents, including Voter ID, Aadhar card, driving license, passport and pension document, will be required for self-registration on the Co-WIN website
