The second phase of COVID-19 vaccination has begun in India. The government of India has launched the Co-WIN app and portal to allow citizens to book their COVID-19 vaccination appointment easily. However, it should be noted that the Co-WIN app is only for administrations while the website https://ift.tt/2MDG48j is for the general public. Another way to book COVID-19 vaccine appointments is by using India’s own coronavirus tracking app Aarogya Setu. The bluetooth app is available on both Google Play store as well as Apple App store.
The vaccination for COVID-19 virus has primarily begun for senior citizens with age above 60 years and those who are above 45 years of age suffering from co-morbidities.
On March 1 we explained how you can book COVID-19 vaccine appointments on the Co-WIN portal. Today, we will discuss how to book the vaccine appointment using the Aarogya Setu app. This process in my opinion is easiest of all. Here’s a step-by-step guide for you.
