- 3 years ago
As India gears up to vaccinate people above 60 years of age and those over 45 years with comorbidities against COVID-19 from tomorrow (March 1), the Union Health Ministry on Friday said the facility of on-site registrations will be available so that eligible beneficiaries can walk into identified vaccination centres, get themselves registered and get inoculated.
The beneficiaries will be able to self-register in advance by downloading the Co-WIN 2.0 portal and through other IT applications such as Arogya Setu etc which will list the government and private hospitals serving as COVID-19 vaccination centres (CVCs) with the date and time of the available schedules.
The beneficiary would be able to choose the CVC of his/her choice and book an appointment for immunization, the ministry said.
Vaccination will be free of charge at the government vaccination centres. Those taking the COVID vaccine at any designated/empanelled private health facility will have to pay a pre-fixed charge, it said.
