New Delhi: The Ministry of Health Union has activated services on the Cowin portal that allows anyone to check individual vaccination status with a person’s cellphone number and registered name, followed by OTP for approval.
This service can be used by service providers – such as travel agents, offices, employers, entertainment agencies or government institutions such as IRCTC – for whom verifying a person’s vaccination status is very important to facilitate the services requested by citizens, officials said.
“Now download a fully vaccinated badge / part of Cowin & Share with your friends on all your social platforms! Encourage your family and friends to follow you and #fightCovid,” CEO of National Health Authority Hospital Sharma Tweeted.
This service is being built to help citizens who may not have a vaccine certificate available in digital or paper form to utilize the services requested and can support the service provider to verify the status of citizen vaccination.
