CoWIN new feature allows offices, airports to check vaccination status of others"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Every day, the government is coming up with new ways to encourage users to get Covid vaccination. At some places, the government has also made sure that people will be able to avail the services only if they are vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the Union Health Ministry has activated a new service on the CoWIN portal. The new feature in the CoWIN app will let others know the vaccination status-fully or partially vaccinated- of any citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private entities such as offices, movie theatres, hotels, restaurants, airports, railway stations, and other public service providers may utilise this tool to check the vaccination status of customers or visitors. The new CoWIN platform feature allows all citizens to verify the immunisation status of anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motive of this tool is to allow the service providers (private entities like offices, travel agencies, entertainment agencies, employers etc or government agencies like IRCTC, Govt offices etc.) to check the individual status if they have to come to avail any service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“On the CoWIN digital platform, a new feature called “Know Your Vaccination Status” has been introduced. “This will assist in verifying\/retrieving a citizen’s vaccination status\/details in compliance with the authorised rights of the verifying entity by Co-WIN\/MoHFW,” the government said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, prior consent is required for the same. To verify someone’s vaccination status, the registered phone number and the person’s name are required. Furthermore, the individual must provide the OTP that he or she will get in order for the other party to check the vaccination status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to check the vaccination status:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Visit the official CoWIN website at https:\/\/www.cowin.gov.in\/<\/li>
  2. Tap on \u2018Share Your Vaccination Status\u2019<\/li>
  3. Enter the registered mobile number and name of the person whose vaccination status you would like to check.<\/li>
  4. Ask for the OTP and enter the same to check the vaccine status.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If someone shows you his or her vaccination certificate and you want to verify it, go to “https:\/\/verify.cowin.gov.in\/” and scan the QR code on the certificate. You may scan the QR code with your phone’s camera or even from your laptop’s webcam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
