New Delhi: The Health Ministry has introduced a digital platform COVID Vaccine Intelligence Network (CoWIN) for real-time monitoring of COVID-19 vaccine delivery.
Citizens can self-register on the application and enroll themselves for vaccination.
“Co-WIN digital platform includes a free downloadable mobile application which can help record vaccine data. One can register themselves on it if they want the vaccine. There are five modules in Co-WIN app — administrator module, registration module, vaccination module, beneficiary acknowledgement module and report module,” Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said.
The registration module will let people get registered on the platform. The bulk data on co-morbidity will be provided by local authorities or by surveyors.
The admins will verify beneficiary details and update vaccination status while the beneficiary acknowledgement module will send SMS to beneficiaries and also generate QR-based certificates after one gets vaccinated.
The mobile app will relay real-time data of cold-storage facilities to the main server.
The data on frontline healthcare workers who will be the first to receive the vaccine have been collected from the government and private health facilities. This data is being updated on CoWIN.
