Vaccination will be done at 10,000 government and more than 20,000 private centres from March 1. The vaccine will be administered free of cost at government centres.

Notably, Co-WIN digital platform is scheduled to transition from Co-WIN 1.0 to Co-WIN 2.0 on February 27 and February 28. As per the Union Health Ministry, no COVID-19 vaccination session will be scheduled during these two days.

Co-WIN App

Phase 2 beneficiaries will be able to register themselves on the Co-WIN app from Monday itself. There will be reportedly a walk-in provision to register at the session sites as well.

Co-WIN app’s new version will be GPS-enabled.

People will not be able to choose which vaccine (Covishield or Covaxin) they will get in the new version of the Co-WIN platform. However, they can select the date and the centre.

Four appointments can be made on one mobile phone.
"Co-WIN will be able to take registrations and appointments from multiple applications, including Aarogya Setu or any other application such as a common service app,” said RS Sharma, the Chairman of the Empowered Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Administration.
