Service providers can now see vax status
21.11.2021
The union health ministry has activated a service on the CoWin portal that allows anyone to check an individual’s vaccination status with the person’s registered mobile number and name, followed by an OTP for consent.
The service could be utilised by a service provider — such as travel agencies, offices, employers, entertainment agencies or government agencies such as IRCTC — for whom verifying a person’s vaccination status is critical for facilitating a service requested by the citizen, an official said. “Now download the fully/partially vaccinated badge from CoWin & share it with your friends on all your social platforms! Encourage your family and friends to follow you and #FightCovid,” national health authority CEO RS Sharma tweeted. The service is being built to help citizens who may not have the vaccine certificate available in digital or paper form for availing a requested service and can support the service provider to verify the vaccination status of the citizen.
