Coronavirus | Paytm, MakeMyTrip, Infosys offer to help India with vaccine bookings
The Hindu
Only 3.5% of India's 1.3 billion population has been fully immunised against COVID-19
Paytm, Infosys and MakeMyTrip are among companies seeking approval in India to provide online vaccine bookings, the head of the government's tech platform said, as the country tries to make it easier for its huge population to book shots. The government relaxed rules last month to potentially allow third-party apps to offer vaccine bookings and has taken back control of procurement from states following delays and shortages. It also faced initial problems with its own vaccine booking platform.More Related News
