TheNewsDesk, NewDelhi: The central government has launched a new digital program called ‘CO-WIN’ for COVID-19 vaccine delivery. There will be a new mobile app with the same name that will enable people to register for the vaccine.
The platform will be used for registering vaccine data and will create a database of healthcare workers too. All COVID-19 associated data vital for the delivery of the vaccine is directly uploaded on the CO-WIN platform.
The app will have separate modules for administrator, enrollment, vaccination, recipient acknowledgment, and reports. Once people start registering on the app, the platform will upload bulk data on local authorities’ co-morbidity.
The CO-WIN app is yet to be prepared for smartphone users, and it is expected that it will be readily available soon. The platform’s different modules will provide the entire process of COVID-19 vaccination, starting from registration to verification.
The ‘CO-WIN’ platform will also be used to send real-time temperature records of storage facilities to chief servers.
According to a report, “The vaccination module will verify beneficiary details and update vaccination status with the beneficiary acknowledgment module will send SMS to beneficiaries and also generate QR- based certificates after one gets vaccination.”
