How To Book Vaccination Slots On CoWIN, Aarogya Setu: Tips And Tricks

NDTV spoke to a few lucky people who got vaccinated, to learn about what tricks they had employed to get the appointments.

Despite the centre opening the anti-Covid vaccination drive for all adults, getting inoculated against the deadly disease amid the demand-supply gap is turning out to be very difficult. Appointments for free and paid vaccinations on the dedicated CoWIN portal and Aarogya Setu application are extremely hard to secure. However, some tools and tricks have emerged to help people book the vaccinations slots. An Internet platform name Under45.in, developed by a Chennai-based man, provides district-wise updates on vacant vaccine slots through Telegram channels. Another such platform, named Getjab.in, sends alerts via email. Paytm has integrated a vaccine finder.   The subscribers of the 'my government coronavirus helpdesk' bot can get WhatsApp updates on vaccine centres. It, however, doesn't alert about vacant vaccination slots.
