New Delhi: The registration for COVID-19 vaccine is all set to begin for citizens above the age of 18 years from 4 pm today, April 28. All adults are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine jab and can register themselves on the CoWIN portal or the Aarogya Setu app.
The Phase 3 of the much-awaited mass vaccination drive will begin across the country on May 1. The decision on a ‘liberalised and accelerated Phase 3 strategy of COVID-19 vaccination’ was taken after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with doctors.
Coronavirus vaccines will be free of cost at all government-run COVID centres, while private hospitals can “transparently declare” a self-set cost for the vaccine.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to register on the CoWIN app:
* Visit the official website of CoWIN – cowin.gov.in
* Enter your 10-digit mobile number or Aadhaar number
* Enter the OTP received on the mobile number in the given space
* Once registered, schedule your preferred date and time
* Get your COVID-19 vaccination done.
* A Reference ID will be generated which is to get your vaccination certificate.
